Grounded By Nature
Grounded By Nature was created to encourage a way of life that cannot occur in a conventional classroom. Based on a spectacular Oak Grove Indian archaeological site, which is also home to a one and a half acre certified organic farm, the program’s diverse and talented staff creates a well rounded, interconnected set of experiences, including organic gardening, herbal studies, permaculture design, primitive and wilderness skills, music and martial arts, math and writing which woven together yield a deep understanding of the science that runs through all things.
This groundbreaking program is designed for children ages five through teens to inspire exceptional artistic, intellectual, physical and emotional intelligence and to foster an awareness of self in relationship to the natural world, to others and to the greater community, leading each to become an integrated driving force in society.
