Watch as children's eyes sparkle with excitement as they explore, play, and learn amidst the serene beauty of the canyons and open spaces in San Diego. With each step, their imagination is unleashed, and they dive deep into the magical world around them.

This immersive outdoor program goes beyond traditional learning, nurturing holistic development in children. We follow CA State Standards for our Bobcat class. Teaching these standards through play and inquiry based activities. Children learn to read by listening to stories and telling stories. Practicing their phonics while walking and playing in nature makes learning fun! Math is taught as Wild Math utilizing all that nature provides. As the children navigate the canyon's hidden pathways, they uncover valuable life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity. Collaborating with their peers, they build lasting friendships and forge connections that extend far beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
