What we do:

Missoula Valley Forest School provides outdoor nature-based classes for homeschooled or non-traditionally educated children. Our classes run in 8 week sessions every fall, winter, and spring and are typically run at Marshall Mountain Park.

Interested in family classes or summer programing? Let us know! We are looking to expand our offerings.

Why we do it:

We believe in the necessity of getting kids outdoors connecting with nature. We see during every class that curiosity is sparked, bodies settle, and connections with each other and the environment are forged. We see teamwork emerge as they problem-solve in nature. We see confidence soar as they overcome difficulties. We see minds expanded as they learn to empathize with and care for the tiniest creatures. They learn to be at home outdoors in all weather. They start to see how consistent extended time spent outside fuels their bodies and minds!
