Wild Saturdays
Join us one Saturday each month for hands-on, seasonal programs designed for families with young children. Each Wild Saturday features a new theme, from colorful hikes and fairy house building to winter animal tracking, all led by our Rewilding School educators.
These 90-minute sessions blend outdoor exploration, playful learning, and nature-based crafts or games to spark curiosity and deepen kids' connection to the natural world. Perfect for families with kids ages 2–7. Grown-ups attend for free and stay to share in the fun!
Group Size: There will be a max of 20 kids per session. Parents are required to attend, but for free.
POLICIES & PRICING:
If you need to miss a session for whatever reason, we cannot offer make up days. The cost of the program includes one weather cancellation. However, if there are subsequent cancellations due to weather after the first one, a credit of 50% of that day will be applied to your account. This means that for every cancellation beyond the initial one, you will receive a 50% credit for that day. All sales are final and nonrefundable, though some conditions may merit program credit. We do not offer refunds or credits for health related absences. Review our latest policies on our website: https://www.rewildingschool.com/policies.
