Forest Learning Collective is excited to debut a brand new summer program for 2025!

​We offer three full days a week with a drop-in system that allows you to work around your other summer plans; no paying for program days that you'll be absent from or trying to coordinate an entire consecutive week around your busy schedule.

In addition to activities coordinated with the daily focus, each day at FLC will include a few traditional camp activities such as campfire cooking, singing camp songs, playing classic group games, and some friendly competition. Throughout the season, learners will earn beads for their accomplishments which they can proudly wear on their name necklace. By August, the nametags will tell a story of the entire summer. â€‹

On Mondays, our focus is Conservation. One of our Big Three values at FLC is taking care of the earth and this summer we're partnering with Captain Planet Foundation's Project Hero to send our learners on a Pollinator QUEST. This summer-long project lets learners take the lead as they dive deep into issues that impact local pollinators' ability to survive and thrive. In the second half of the summer, learners will design and implement a solution to reduce those threats and aid the species of their choosing.

Wednesdays are stuffed full of Hiking and Camping Skills. Loosely following Outdoor School's Hiking and Camping Interactive Guide, learners will hone their skills in adventure planning, find their hiking style, set up a perfect campsite, go on a microclimate safari, explore natural remedies, and more! Learners will be sent home each week with a list of fun "Bonus Activities" to further their expertise and involve the whole family.​

After two days packed with action, we wind down on Fridays with Outdoor Art. Learners will curate their own "Artfolios" with four different crafts to explore each week set in themes like Touch and Texture, Recycled Sound, and Forest Magic. At the end of the summer, families are invited to join us for an art show where learners have the opportunity to put their favorite pieces on display.

We recognize that the Forest Learning Collective thrives on the ancestral land of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Haudenosaunee people. Consistent with our values of community and inclusion, we have a responsibility to acknowledge, honor and make visible the collective's relationship to Native peoples.
