Overview

Student-Teacher Ratio 12:1

Participate in Project-based and environmental-related lessons that are engaging and fun; all the while weaving in epic survival skills, ancestral living skills, and natural history education!  

We will offer a vast education outdoors, immersing students in a learning environment, in ways that traditional models can’t. With a whole-child-led focus, students become invested in their education and foster a lifelong relationship with the land, their mentors and classmates, and the community. Here students are supported to push their own boundaries through safe mentor-led supported risks, thereby teaching them independence, confidence, resilience, and perseverance.  Offering more in an outdoor environment allows children to develop a strong sense of self and a natural love of science, creativity, writing, natural history, and more. In this design, children are naturally accessing their whole imaginations, incorporating their whole focus while growing into amazing earth stewards. 

Our curriculum is full of opportunity, just like the natural world, and we plan on being flexible and opportunistic just as we would on any trip into the wilderness! We may spend more or less time on a given subject based on the interest or abilities of the students, or on the cooperation of the weather. 

We are working with our professional and lay leaders to take a balanced and active approach to our natural learning pod planning while following the Covid-19 Safe County Guidelines.

My sons have participated in Bean in Nature program for the past five years, and they have enjoyed every class. This is a wonderful program. It gives kids the opportunity to explore nature and outdoors in a safe environment, disconnected from devices and technology. The kids build shelters, make fire, play games, explore, hike, learn about plants and animals, connect with nature, climb trees, make friends, have fun, After each class the kids could be muddy or wet, but they are always happy and looking forward to more adventures in the next class.

Thank you Marianna! We have been so fortunate to have your boys with us for these many years. It is families like you, long timers in our nature-led program, that help share with others that nature-led programming works, the importance, how disconnection from devices is integral and how it has impacted your children and given them the chance to just be kids, freely connecting with nature and gaining all the benefits over the years! Thank you for taking the time to share with us and those that will be supported to know BEan Nature-led programming is a phenomenal program!

Our daughter Genevieve has attended various BEaninNature summer camps and the ongoing weekly Earth Education Program on Wednesday.
The positive impact to her overall development, both educationally and socially has been hugely significant. Her appreciation of nature and its fragility, increased empathy demonstrated by working collaboratively with others and being receptive of different opinions are just a few of the areas she has grown during her time at BEaninNature. In addition, her critical thinking skills have really flourished as she is faced with challenges that are outside the relatively confined choices available in a traditional classroom. This had led to increased confidence to address some of the challenges she faces in everyday life, including her academic studies. 
We can't recommend BEaninNature enough and we are more than happy to answer any questions from any parents considering the program. Please feel free to contact us. Rob & Siân
