2026/27 Wild Outside Trial Day
At Earth Native, we have been taking immersive outdoor education to the next level since 2011! Joining an Earth Native program is truly something to be experienced rather than something to read about. As hard as we try, it isn’t possible to truly capture the magic of our programs with a blurb on our website.
Join Earth Native for a Wild Outside Trial Day on Wednesday, March 25th, to get a feel for the benefits of joining our award-winning Wild Outside program
The trial day was created specifically for families considering joining our Wild Outside program for the 2026/27 school year.
Benefits of joining us for the Trial Day include:
-
Seeing our excellent program instructors and our “invisible school” teaching philosophy in action
-
Allowing your kids/teens to experience Earth Native programs firsthand
This is a wonderful opportunity for children to step into our outdoor classroom, meet instructors, and get a taste of what a day at Earth Native Wild Outside is like.
