Autumn is coming and with it the advent of a brand new adventure! The Wild Weekend is a program designed to combat the disconnect our kids feel stuck behind a desk all day- an opportunity to ground down and deeply connect to the natural world. We will explore three locations around the Portland Metro area, getting our hands dirty and our hearts full!
