Immersive Eight Week Spring Farm and Forest School Program for Children and Youth
The Spring Season Farm and Forest School at Jireh Hills Family Homestead is an intensive eight-week program designed to foster learning on a diversified, working farm. Led by a qualified secondary school teacher with extensive homesteading experience, the program runs every Thursday from 10AM to 2PM, starting in April. This unique educational opportunity allows children to engage deeply with nature, animal care, and traditional farm skills in a supportive and structured outdoor environment.
Students participate in a wide variety of hands-on activities, including milking goats, raising baby animals, and learning horse communication techniques. The curriculum also covers alpaca fibre dyeing and team-building exercises within the farm’s woodlands, encouraging students to develop practical skills while exploring the natural world. With a limit of twelve students per day, the program ensures personalized attention, allowing each child to grow in confidence and knowledge throughout the duration of the spring session.
Outdoor learning is a core component of the school, so students are encouraged to dress appropriately for the changing spring weather. Participants should arrive prepared with a backpack containing extra socks, warm clothing, and a packed lunch with a water bottle. The farm provides on-site washroom facilities, ensuring that students remain comfortable while they spend their days immersed in the forest and barn environments, learning the rhythms of a sustainable, working homestead.
This program successfully combines practical farm skills with creative and social learning, helping children build teamwork and leadership abilities. Whether through animal husbandry or forest exploration, students gain a deeper connection to the land and a better understanding of ecological stewardship. Drop-in options are available for those who cannot commit to the full eight weeks, making this an accessible and enriching experience for families seeking a meaningful, nature-based education for their children.
