About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
At Roots & Wings Outdoor School, we believe that children thrive when they are connected to nature, guided by curiosity, and supported in exploring the world at their own pace. Our programs nurture creativity, resilience, and a love of learning through hands-on outdoor experiences that foster both personal growth and a sense of community. With a focus on safety, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship, we empower children to discover their strengths, build meaningful relationships, and develop the confidence to take on new challenges—both in the wild and in life.
Our Story
Roots & Wings Outdoor School was founded on a simple belief: children learn best when they are free to explore, create, and connect with the natural world around them. Our founders, inspired by their own childhood adventures outdoors, wanted to create a space where kids could unplug from screens, engage all their senses, and develop both curiosity and confidence. We blend hands-on learning with play, fostering a love of nature, self-expression, and teamwork in an environment that is safe, supportive, and inclusive.
​
Each day at Roots & Wings is filled with discovery and adventure. Children might start the morning with a nature hike, spotting wildlife or investigating the patterns of plants and insects. Midday, they could engage in creative projects, from building shelters and crafting with natural materials to experimenting with science and art in the outdoors. Group games, storytelling, and quiet reflection time help children build friendships, develop social-emotional skills, and learn how to work together. Every activity is designed to spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving, and leave children with a sense of accomplishment and joy in their own abilities.
