Barefoot and Buckets – TimberNook Middlesex County

Barefoot & Buckets offers days of imaginative and often messy adventures that leave your children excited and asking for more. This is a drop off program that meets July 29th to August 2nd.  Children will deep dive into their imaginations while exploring the woods and connecting with friends. There will be songs, stories and of course lots of unstructured free play!  The theme each day will change but your child will consistently come home messy and happy. 

• This class is 100% outside and 100% fun, dress your child in closed toed shoes and clothing they can climb, play and get VERY messy in
• Children should bring a hearty snack, lunch and a refillable water bottle from home
• This program runs Monday-Friday from 9:00am to 1:00pm for children ages 4-7

There is a TimberNook Certified Provider onsite all day, each day.

We strive to maintain a low staff to child ratio around 1:6. Our staff include: Occupational Therapists, Educators, Outdoor Enthusiasts, Master Level OT student interns and high school students interested in childhood education, the medical field, and the great outdoors.

We will be maintaining a wait list so please contact Emma at [email protected] if you would like to be on the waitlist.

Children of all abilities are welcome. We believe that communication is key to a positive TimberNook experience. If you feel that your child may need additional assistance or you would like to see if your child would be a good fit, please contact us. We will work together to make great summer memories and experiences for your child. 

Financial Assistance MAY be available for qualifying families through 2 different organizations. If you live in Acton or Boxborough please check out the Doli Atamian Campership Program. TimberNook also has several scholarships for qualifying families financed through a generous contribution from the Genesis Foundation.

We look forward to Playing the TimberNook Way!
