The program leaders are Andy Smith and Megan Goodrich. Please see our Staff Page for a short bio on each of them.  Outdoor School is a mentoring program which is designed to give kids a close relationship with a caring adult while they explore the wonder of the natural world. We also focus on developing a community within the group through daily councils and group decision making.  The group leaders encourage individual development by asking each child to set personal goals each day and challenging each individual to increase personal competency in the natural environment.  Please visit our Outdoor School Page for more information about registration. The 5 week Winter program will cost $180.  Some scholarship funds are available. 2008-11-19T19:02:42+00:00 http://www.schoolhouseofwonder.org/news/single/special_fall_programs/ http://www.schoolhouseofwonder.org/news/single/special_fall_programs/#When:12:31:54Z Schoolhouse of Wonder is offering a Special Fall Program.  Click this link to read more and consider our latest Adult Program for women, The Natural World and Women’s Creativity.  We are very pleased that Megan Goodrich will be leading a workshop just for women that will provide an opportunity to awaken senses and enhance creative expressions using the natural world as inspiration.  Link to special fall program, for descriptions, dates, costs, and registration information. 2008-10-15T12:31:54+00:00
