Nature-Led Education & Outdoor Adventures

Our son attended BEAN at the Steven's Creek location for the past year. He LOVED it! He said ' what sets BEAN apart from other Nature programs is that they are kind; not just to humans or kids, but to Nature, plants, creatures. They teach you these things by being that way and I want BEAN to be part of my life for all my homeschooling years.'. Not only do they learn essential survival skills, life skills, self care and responsibility, they learn how to be care takers of their future world! Marisa and her crew are wonderful and model what is needed to improve our planet. WE wholeheartedly recommend BEAN. We look forward to our day at BeAn and sorely miss it during holidays. Thank you Marisa and team!

BEan in Nature is a great program! They work at a lot of different locations, one of them being my work at an elementary school. They come and teach the kids about gardening, the environment, and about being a part of a community. I would really recommend this program to anyone with children.

Wonderful program and my son thoroughly loves it. Being in nature, learning all kinds of skills, connecting with the land- he comes back with a peace within him that is hard to describe. He could spend all day there and is always excited to go back again. I wish all children were so lucky...or all adults !!

My 2 children, Noah (12 years old) and Tessa (9 years old) both go to Bean In Nature and absolutely love it! This is the biggest highlight of their week! They spend hours in the forest (hands on learning about the environment, survival skills, hiking, meditating, doing crafts ...) and they both come back happy, dirty, full of stories and new knowledge about the soil, the plants, the environment, as well as great survival skills! This is an amazing program that gives children a true childhood and fill their heart with happiness and connection to nature!
