1000 Hours Outside is a curriculum dedicated to getting kids outside and active, while also using nature to get creative. In this class we will be doing projects from the 1000 Hours Outside activity book and learning about the plants and animals of the Pacific Northwest. The curriculum is about the time parents and their kids spend outside together when not in class. If you have a child that is younger, parents welcome to sit in and help with crafts. Spend as much time outside as humanly possible! Rain or shine, it’s all making memories and developing knowledge for your family. Students will need 1 “1000 Hours Outside” activity book and 1 foraging bag (You can buy these at 1000HoursOutside.com)
