Who We Are

Outdoor Education for Curious Minds

At Walden Peak Forest School, we believe children thrive when they connect with nature. Our mission is to foster curiosity, resilience, and a love for learning through hands-on experiences in the great outdoors. Nestled on Walden’s Ridge, we provide a nurturing space where young explorers aged 3-6 can grow, discover, and build a meaningful relationship with the natural world.
