Go outside and play!

Under the guidance of positive adult role models, we provide the children a chance to discover their own abilities, stimulating self-esteem and character. From tree climbing, to hiking, to fort building, to mountain biking, to just looking under rocks in the river to see what’s there, we let kids lead the programming as much as possible. We believe the power of observation is one of nature's most useful tools for learning and are ever ready to stop what we are doing to watch an eagle eat a shad or have a rock skipping contest.

Children will have FUN, learn for themselves, start to see a progression of skill development and build a base that they'll carry with them their whole lives. We create a safe environment for kids to be kids and enjoy time outside like we did growing up. Fortunately we have the James River Park System in our back yard. What a wonderful playground! Most of the programs take place in the James River Park and other area parks, but from time to time we may visit private locations for specific activities.

Ages: Boys and Girls 1st-5th grade.

Program dates and applciations are available on the Outside afterschool page.
