Programs
YOUNG CHILDREN ARE NATURALLY CURIOUS AND CREATIVE THINKERS. THEY HAVE A SENSE OF WONDER AND AWE ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND ARE EAGER TO EXPLORE. AS EDUCATORS, WE CAN GUIDE CHILDREN’S EXPLORATIONS THROUGH EXPERIENCES SET IN NATURE, WITH CHILD-LED, UNSTRUCTURED PLAY THAT WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND LIFE.
Wild Wednesdays
Weekly Nature-Based Learning for Children Ages 3–6
Join us for a magical summer of exploration and discovery at Wild Wednesdays, where curiosity blooms and little feet lead the way! Designed for children ages 3–6, this once-a-week camp invites young explorers to connect with the natural world through hands-on activities, outdoor play, and guided discovery.
Each week, campers will dig into a new nature-inspired theme—like bugs, birds, plants, or weather—through storytelling, sensory play, crafts, songs, and group games. Drop-off and pick-up will be at Meadow Speech Therapy, 23 Eric Nord Way, Suite 1, Oberlin. We will meet and begin our day, then take a short walk to local parks to play and discover. Our child-centered approach fosters creativity, confidence, and connection to the environment, all while building early learning skills in a joyful and supportive setting.
Led by experienced educators in a safe, natural setting, Wild Wednesdays encourages children to slow down, wonder, and grow—one leaf, stone, and splash at a time.
Dates: June 11 - July 2
Time: Wednesdays, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Meadow Speech Therapy; 23 Eric Nord Way, Suite 1, Oberlin, OH
Spaces are limited to ensure a cozy, connected group experience. Come grow with us!
