Community Outdoor School
Outdoor schools and nature schools — those perceptions are also shaped by stakeholders, advocates, the media, books, and organizations to be quite specific. Look up nature schools and you will see children following trails, in meadows, under a tree canopy, walking in streams in public or private land. The landscapes are large and wide. You will also learn of the benefits offered by outdoor schools.
This is not us.
More Than a Place on a Map
As they run past landmarks, they catalogue them, they put them in their pockets for later. This is more than a place on a map. It is a childhood.
Children's Community
For children, decision-making is sometimes really overwhelming. Often what we think are small or easily made decisions are too much for little ones. How wonderful is it for children to find themselves in a community of other children, who get that and will help each other out when they need it?
The Future is Here
We have the future inside the walls and garden of our little cooperative school. We know the future surrounds us and is being cared for carefully. And here it is about community and the strength of "we." The future may not be evenly distributed, but it will be. Yes, it will and it will start with "we."
