REGISTRATION LINK
LITTLE WILD ONES & WILD ONES:
drop-off nature play programs for children ages 4-12.
TINY ONES:
nature play programs for children ages 1.5-3 accompanied by an adult caregiver.
PURPOSE: TimberNook programming is a nature play adventure for children developed by Occupational Therapists. It was designed as the vehicle to get children outdoors in sensory-rich experiences that inspire, restore, and challenge the mind and the body. We strive to be the “living example” of what real, authentic outdoor play should look like. Our programs are a great way to socialize and to continue learning through play that complements other homeschool or partial-school programs. It is also a great opportunity to complement therapy for children with motor, sensory, or other developmental challenges.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: When deciding if this program will be a good fit for your child, please take the following into consideration:
- Our TimberNook programs are inclusive; we are a safe place for children and families of all abilities, backgrounds, and belief systems.
- We maintain a 6:1 child to adult ratio where the role of the adult is to "step back and tune in". TimberNook staff are extensively trained on this method and a Certified Provider will be present at every program. Staff will maintain visual contact with children at all times, but may be out of arm’s reach. Staff allow children the opportunity to build conflict resolution skills, but will step in when required such as when safety is a factor.
- We expect children to maintain visual contact of a TimberNook staff person, stay within the designated (unfenced) boundaries of our site, and be able to manage their needs (such as eating, drinking fluids, and using the restroom).
- We understand that children sometimes have varying abilities and unique needs. If your child requires ADDITIONAL SUPPORT, please contact us to make a plan. If the child requires 1:1 support to attend, you must provide the support person as we are unable to meet this level of supervision within the program. This support person will be required to attend a special training provided by our Certified Providers prior to the start of the program.
- If the cost is prohibitive, please contact us to inquire about sponsorship opportunities.
- If you or someone you know would like to subsidize a spot for families who cannot attend at full cost, please get in touch!
PACKING LIST:
- ample amounts of snacks
- refillable water bottle
- backpack or tote bag
- extra layers of clothing depending upon the weather (we are an All-Weather program which means we will play in the cold, hot, rain, or shine!)
- packing a full lunch will be necessary for any program of 4hrs or more.
WAITLIST: If this program is full, please email us to be added to the waitlist at [email protected] with your name, child's name and age, and a good phone number for more immediate contact should a space open up.
REFUND POLICY:
- Payments are 90% refundable up to 2-weeks prior to the event date.
- Full Credit Transfer can be issued in the event of illness or other unexpected absence.
- Full Credit Transfer or a 90% refund will be issued in the event that TimberNook has to cancel the program.
