Welcome to Cache Valley Forest School! We believe childhood should be full of wonder, curiosity, and wild adventure. At our school, children reconnect with the natural world in a way that fosters kinship with nature and all living things. Every program is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage love and stewardship of the world around them-- all through hands-on adventures, playful exploration, and joyful discovery of the outdoors.
From preschool and homeschool enrichment to monthly adventure clubs and seasonal day camps, every day invites kids to wander, explore, and celebrate learning outdoors!
Play. Learn. Explore.
