    "Risky play, place based learning, social interaction, and full sensory experience — the whole child approach! We use forest school as homeschool enrichment, but it really enriches our entire lives."

    Waynna

  • Two children playing on a rocky riverbank during autumn, with trees displaying colorful fall foliage in the background and sunlight reflecting on the water.

    "We have been participating in EverWild activities for the last two years and continue to be impressed by the quality and details that go into every activity and class. We have seen such a growth in our son's social skills, curiosity and confidence! Our community needed something like EverWild, and I am so grateful we have been able to participate!"

  • Two children, a boy and a girl, playing near the Boise River in a wooded area during daylight. The girl is splashing water and the boy is standing nearby.

    "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."

    Jenessa

  • A child in a red long-sleeve shirt, ripped jeans, and black shoes crouches on a rocky outdoor surface, holding a small camera and examining a notebook with plants and soil samples.

    "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."

    Amy

  • Child sitting on sandy riverbank wearing a striped beanie, holding a small bucket and pink shovel, with trees and other children in the background.

    "My son has blossomed under the teachings and care of the program. 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."

    “With Everwild, my kids are getting tons of quality time in the outdoors with qualified teachers who can create learning opportunities above and beyond what I could ever hope to provide for them. They've developed new friendships, a special bond with their instructors, and a love for the outdoors that I am envious of.”
