Through The Trees

Through the Trees is the highlight of my kids' week. They find companionship and the opportunity to learn from their peers as well as the natural world. It can be a place of solace and wild-boy adventures. The outdoor environment gives them a sense of freedom to explore, but it also requires self-awareness and the skills to face whatever weather or season comes along. My kids come home muddy and smelling of a campfire, but they get in the car with stories of navigating conflict, helping with younger kids, and learning about the curious lives of unlikely friends. The guides are caring, respectful, and inclusive. My boys seek out their guides with cool ideas about projects and with tricky situations among friends. Participants engage at their own pace. Consequently, TTT is a very safe place for quiet kids as well as the most gregarious ones. As we balance homeschooling, sports schedules, and societal influences, Through the Trees is both an escape from the chaos of growing up, as well as a wonderful place for kids to learn who they are and feel celebrated in the process.

Through the Trees is an incredible opportunity for homeschooled (or any) kids to spend their day fully immersed in the woods. The staff who have founded and run this wonderful organization are passionate about providing kids with this refuge and fostering the magic of childhood rather than extinguishing it. We can't say enough good things about this program, the staff, and the TTT community. Every child should have access to this experience.

Through The Trees has changed my families life. We have been involved with TTT since day one (almost 4 years). The opportunities and adventures my child has experienced is, for my family, the way life should be lived, full of getting to know yourself safely in the outdoors. We have been loved and embraced by the TTT family and every time we are there for the homeschool program or for adult gatherings, it is a little wizard of oz for us "there is no place like home " thank you so much... we are lifersBex Herbage by Bex

Our two boys started Through The Trees in fall 2020 and so far they have loved their experience. Each week they tell us of their adventures in the woods and all the things they get to learn about and explore. I love the child-led approach that TTT takes to get the kids involved and excited about lessons in nature!
