Join the Forest Pals Community

Now enrolling for 2026-2027

Wednesday homeschool enrichment groups still have just a few open spots for nature-loving children.

However, all caregiver-and-child groups, as well as all Monday groups, are full for the fall.

Families are encouraged to apply for all programs at any time to be added to our waitlist.

Please read our website and family agreements thoroughly before applying.

We look forward to hearing from you!
