We left a little love in the forest today! ❄️❤️ There’s so much joy in creating, exploring, and connecting with nature. Our forest classes will be all about hands-on fun, curiosity, and outdoor adventures—we can’t wait to share them with you!

Stay tuned for class details coming soon! Who’s ready to play in the woods? 🌲✨

We are in the process of recreating the mud kitchen we had at our old house (shown in video). What else would you like to see at Aspen Grove?

Hello Brainerd Lakes Area families! My name is Katie Palmer, and I’m exploring the possibility of opening a nature-based early childhood program right here in Pillager.

This would be a play-based, outdoor learning program for young children, focused on fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for nature. I am currently gathering feedback to see if there is interest in a program like this in our community.

If you have young children (or know families who do), I’d love your input! This short survey will help determine if this is something families in our area want and need. Thank you so much for your time!

We are thrilled to announce Aspen Grove, a place where children and families can connect with nature, learn through exploration, and grow together.

Our outdoor education classes are designed for children ages 3-8 and their families, offering hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and foster a love for the natural world. While we’re not a full-time school, we’re excited to provide enriching opportunities to learn, play, and thrive in the great outdoors.
