  • "EverWild is such a treasure, giving opportunity for children to connect with nature, experiment with risky play, learn about animals, their habitats, and the environment, and making long-lasting connections with peers and their families."

  • "Just do it - you won’t regret it. Your kids will love the programs because they learn new things based on curriculum units tied to the environment, get fresh air and exercise, and learn to be strong and confident in themselves."

Their expertise in child development and willingness to help us develop a plan have led to my son being the happiest I’ve seen him! He comes home full of knowledge, and I love knowing he learned it the way children should - through play and exploration."
