Program Description
After a full day of school, give your child the chance to spend their afternoons exploring Hidden Villa’s farm and wilderness. Our education staff will help students direct their own learning as they work in small groups to engage with our farm animals, take hikes through the forest, and express their creativity and curiosity in a natural setting. Each age group has a different age-appropriate learning focus, and your child will come home from Hidden Villa full of fresh air and feeling more connected to our natural world!
- Junior Farm Chefs (Kinder/1st Grade: max 8 students): Put on your apron! In Jr. Farm Chefs, participants will experience cooking a variety of simple dishes while learning about where food comes from, various types of foods, and how food fuels our bodies. We’ll explore kitchen safety, food safety, and even harvest some food grown at Hidden Villa! In the kitchen, Jr. Chefs will participate in tastings that test all of the five senses. Together, we’ll explore new foods, prepare tasty food, and share our new discoveries and creations with our families!
- Getting to Know Me (2nd-4th Grade: max 8 students): In this After School Adventure program, students will become more self-aware as they uncover different strategies for self-care and self-expression. They will engage in art activities, sensory hikes, and other forms of creative movement. As students develop a practice of caring for and being kind to themselves, they will be better equipped to care for the world around them. They will leave feeling more empowered in kindness to others and in curiosity for the natural world.
- Climate Change and YOU (5th/6th Grade: max 10 students): In this 8-week program, students will examine the scientific and social causes of climate change and explore tools for advocacy and actionable solutions. This will be an impactful experience where students will engage in exploring the complex relationship they each have with the natural world and collaboratively work toward a more sustainable future.
