Description:
Goslings is about growing nature connected kids from a young age. This means kids who are calmer, more aware, & compassionate, This is about laying the groundwork for a person who is resilient and comfortable in the natural world, and in their own skin, for life. The spring trimester puts young people squarely in the wonder and magic of fresh & rapid growth, awe inspiring renewal, and the magic of a transforming landscape. Songs and stories help frame what’s happening on the landscape, priming young people on what to look for and expect. Instructors anticipate the first growth and make sure that kids catch a glimpse of the colt’s foot poking through the snow. Spring Goslings welcomes back the bird song, and fills kids with electricity & awe as the river ice breaks up. What you and your child can expect A thrilling, nurturing, and magical atmosphere in a wild, riverside cedar forest. Responsible, nurturing adults supporting small groups limited in size to 14 kids. As with all GOS programs, Goslings sessions are filled with exploring and tracking, mapping, self-sufficiency skills and nature craft. In recognition of this younger age, Goslings instructors emphasize the sense of wonder and mystery in the natural world through exploration, free-play, and lots of songs and story. We maintain excellent ratios of approximately 4 kids per adult instructor, often with volunteer support.
