Happy holiday season to all!!

As we reflect on gratitude one thing continues to come to mind, how grateful we are at Elements Nature School to be blessed with such a gift as witnessing children in the outdoors. The way their eyes and souls light up at the tiniest of things; watching a leaf fall from a tree, observing the most perfect rain drop on a tiny leaf, animal prints in the mud... it is all very beautiful and we are simply filled with gratitude.

A warm and happy Thanksgiving to you all!

"For the Children"
- Gary Snyder

The rising hills, the slopes,
of statistics
lie before us.
the steep climb
of everything, going up,
up, as we all
go down.

In the next century
or the one beyond that,
they say,
are valleys, pastures,
we can meet there in peace
if we make it.

To climb these coming crests
one word to you, to
you and your children:

stay together
learn the flowers
go light

We have had 2 last minute openings arise for our preschool/kindergarten program! If any families out there are considering outdoor school as an option for their little ones early childhood care, we would be honored to offer you a tour of our space.

Our program runs from September - June and is held at the lovely Coyote Trails Nature Center in south Medford. Please check out our website for more information, or email us at [email protected]

Happy summer days to all!

This year for our annual plant sale fundraiser we will be joining Rogue Valley Mentoring at their youth panel and block party! Not only is this event going to be filled with fun activities for kids, but your support and attendance will help two amazing organizations; RVM and ourselves.

All of the proceeds we make by selling our plant starts and handmade gifts (made by the little hands of Elements Nature School) go directly to our scholarship program. Which means, with your support we are able to get more kids involved in our fully outdoor programs!

We will have plant starts of all varieties to fill your gardens with love and abundance!

May 10th 11am - 4pm.

Our 2025 summer camp registration is open! If you are interested in getting your children outside this summer, please consider one of our nature explorer camps.
