Tomahawk Nature School program will operate out of Tomahawk School. This is a unique and optional extension program that will get children active and in touch with nature while essentially extending a child's Kindergarten experience from half-time to full-time in the process or supplementing their home school programming.
Nature School is an optional extension program focused on providing meaningful student engagement in a nature-based setting while addressing health and life skills. With our ultimate goal being student success and well-being, children spend the majority of their day outside exploring the local environment as inspiration for their play and inquiry. Nature School nurtures independent, confident and resilient learners with a zeal for problem-solving. Physical literacy and life-long health and well-being are fostered through outdoor adventures that contribute to the social and emotional assets of individual health.
