Gear for the seasons:
As the saying goes…There is never bad weather, just bad clothing!

As we are a unique school experience, one of the few in North America that participates in our Forest classroom year-round for seven hours daily, the gear we learn how to use is vital for our comfort.

My years of work with children and exploring outdoors for hours each day have provided insight as to what gear works optimally for comfort. When you enroll your child, I will provide a list of clothing recommendations for each season, and recommendations for your own gear as well, so you and your family will be comfortable in all seasons. Think of all the fun your child will be able to have when they have good clothing that works.

Itching/stinging should cease immediately. If itching does not stop, try 1 drop of clove. Normally, you will only need 1-2 applications for mosquito bites, but more for spider or other insect bites.
