Creating connection with our selves, each other, and the planet

Down To Earth Nature School’s mission is to connect children and families back to our roots through outdoor play and creativity. Our programs embrace the unique qualities that shape one’s individuality, while fostering a sense of community that feels like family. Thriving at the intersection of ancient skills and modern technology, we value an integrative approach to education and lifeskill leadership through enrichment programs that include gardening, literacy, wildcrafting, music, art, STEM, native plant identification, marine biology exploration, surfing & more!
