Outdoor Nature School in Boise: Wild Beginnings and Their Hands-On Environmental Education

Last updated April 26, 2024 by Totally Boise

Wild Beginnings Nature School has carved a niche for itself, offering a fully outdoor learning environment for children and families. Founded just four years ago, this nature-focused school has seen remarkable growth, expanding its reach and program offerings to cater to young kids across the Treasure Valley.

Programs Tailored for All Ages

Wild Beginnings is more than just a school; it's a community hub where education meets nature. The school offers a multi-age preschool program for children aged 3-5, fostering early childhood development in the embrace of nature’s classroom. For the slightly older kids, ages 6-10, there is a homeschool enrichment program that complements traditional educational formats with rich, hands-on environmental learning experiences.

Recognizing the importance of family involvement in early education, Wild Beginnings also runs caregiver and me classes for children from birth to six years old. These sessions are perfect for families wanting to introduce their young ones to the natural world from an early age.

Expanding Horizons with Summer Camps

Building on success, the school has introduced summer camps, recently expanding them to accommodate a wider age range and to include full-day camps. These camps have quickly become a staple of the summer season, offering kids fun and educational experiences, from exploring local flora and fauna to learning survival skills that tie back to classroom concepts.

A Vision for the Future

Under new ownership, Wild Beginnings is set on a path of expansion and inclusivity. The aim is not just to educate but to integrate, making the outdoors a classroom for every age and generation. The belief at the heart of Wild Beginnings is that everyone benefits from time spent in nature, and they are dedicated to making this a reality for the Boise community.
