Programs
K-12 Day Program​
9:00am - 4:00pm Choose any combination for attendance on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday September to June.
Your child will be learning with peers and loving nature on the beautiful Henry’s Meadows fields, forests and Marl Pond.
While everyday is different in the forest, learners thrive in a structure and rhythm. Days begin with Morning Circle, then Nature Foray, Lunch, Wander, Stewardship, and end with Afternoon Circle. There is plenty of time for project work, journaling, gathering, preparing, researching, sharing, building and hands-on time.
​
​
Open to all families enrolled in our K-12 Day program or Teen Intensives. Join us Thursdays from 9:00-1:00 to explore a new woodland adventure every week. Hikes will be located within Cortland, Tompkins, and Cayuga counties; every effort will be made to assist with carpooling. These hikes are individually priced with registration closing at 9:00 pm the evening before. Parents may drop off their learner or join in the adventure. Thursdays are offered from Sept-December and March-June, we take a wintertime pause so our learners can enjoy the FLC Ski Club at Greek Peak.
A list of dates and locations will be included in an email.
Summer
Flexible ‘drop-in’ programming that fits your summer plans. Our summer program is small (<10) and offers summer days in nature with guides who provide nature connection and are knowledgeable about neurodivergence.​

Forest Friends

Make new friends in the forest with our two-hour caregiver and child nature program. Meeting once a week, mornings will include hiking, crafts, games, and social time for children from birth to four (and their grown-ups, too!) ​At noon, join our K-12 learners for a picnic lunch at the fire circle. Enrollment includes 4 Pop-up Snow Play Days
Fall Dates: Sept 17, 24, Oct 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, Nov 5, 12, 19

​(Please reach out if you find that the lowest end of the sliding scale is still a barrier to attendance)​
High School Specialty Intensives
FLC offers shorter-term, immersive projects that parents find can help fulfill units needed towards high school completion. These nature-based, place-based, curiosity driven units are usually either 8 or15 week projects (Sept-Dec or March-June) ​
