Children participate in natural areas filled with mud, sand, straw, and other outdoor materials, and some days include paint or other messy activities. Dressing in layers and wearing clothes that can get messy helps them stay comfortable and fully engaged. Checking the Real Feel temperature each morning and preparing for the conditions ensures every child can enjoy the experience.
Rain is part of the adventure. Participants should arrive in full rain gear on chilly days, including a rain suit, rain mittens, and waterproof boots. Proper layers help keep little bodies warm and comfortable while they splash, explore, and play.
Layers make all the difference. Wool socks, insulated boots, and lined mittens or gloves help keep fingers and toes warm as temperatures drop. Snow gear is required on snowy days so children can move, play, and explore comfortably outdoors.
During warmer months, classes may include water play and messy, hands-on activities. Children should wear shoes and clothing that can get wet or dirty, and many families choose to bring a change of clothes for the ride home. Water play is always noted in pre-class emails so you know what to expect.
