This summer, Nature Explorers is designed to help each child strengthen and balance their sensory systems in the most stimulating and soothing classroom of all: the great outdoors! Through hands-on, play-based experiences, children will move, notice, experiment, and explore in ways that support regulation, confidence, coordination, and whole-body learning.

Our senses are central in to how children experience the world, how they behave, and how they learn.

☀️ Our Summer Sensory Journey

With 8 unique lessons, each session brings a fresh sensory focus and new ways to explore, move, and connect outdoors:

The Famous Five (Lessons 1-3)

We’ll activate sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch through rich outdoor invitations to play.

Hidden Senses (Lessons 4-5)

Children will integrate multiple senses at once while exploring two powerful (and often overlooked) systems: the vestibular system and proprioception. These sensory foundations are essential for focus, emotional regulation, and physical development.

Sense of Joy & Wonder (Lessons 6-8)

We’ll wrap up with three special lessons designed to celebrate the senses children love most — sparking awe, connection, and joyful discovery in nature.

All summer classes are designed with flexibility in mind. Families can join week-by-week, class-by-class, or just drop-in—no full-season commitment required. Come when it works best for your family!

Rooted In Play Outdoor Learning offers nature-based programs for young children and their families, creating space for connection, curiosity, and wonder in the outdoors. Through child-led play, seasonal exploration, and hands-on experiences, we help children build a lifelong relationship with the natural world — and with each other.

Rooted In Play offers outdoor, play-based programs for children ages 6 months-8 years and their families — creating space to slow down, explore, and connect with nature all year long.

From sensory play in the mud to building forts in the forest, our sessions are all about hands-on, child-led adventures in the great outdoors.

Let’s get outside and play!
