Outdoor Elementary Homeschool Program
Texas Operations: San Antonio
About Our Program
Nature Rangers is a daytime supplemental homeschool program for TK-4th graders designed to awaken and engage their hearts and minds through hands-on nature activities, art projects, nature crafts, scientific discovery, and interest-led exploration.
We are grounded in a spirit of grace and integrity, detached from shifting narratives, and have created a place for kids to learn, have fun and build character. Our days consist of gentle "place-based" nature learning with a 7:1 student ratio, where curiosity is the guide to spark interest and further inquiry into an endless supply of topics.
We provide a combination of structured and unstructured activities, balancing facilitated learning, arts & crafts and games with a great deal of child-led discovery and art using nature as a backdrop. We strive to create a warm environment where we speak and educate with love and kindness, while also taking an active role teaching children how to communicate effectively, express their needs, and respect the needs of others.
Exploration Stations
Welcome Explorers! Exploration Stations are where children learn through hands-on activities during daily activity sessions. We facilitate new content each week covering the following areas over the school year:
Nature Studies
Explore the five senses, discover and compare different habitats and ecosystems, and engage with the plants and animals who live there.
Art
Express creativity with different modalities of process art including watercolors, acrylics, chalk, oil pastels, colored pencils, nature paint and more.
Wilderness Skills
Develop basic survival skills to be a nature explorer learning how to use tools, knots, how to build shelter, and identify nature dangers.
Local History
Learn about the local practices and try making crafts from the different Native American cultures from around the Western and Southern United States.
Ecology
Enjoy nature-based science activities and games. Take advantage of natural opportunities as we deep dive into our local wilderness.
Nature Crafting
Use nature as a foundation for arts & crafts creations. Discover how to immerse yourself in the wild to make creative and useful expressions.
Earn Specialist Badges!
Children also have the opportunity to become Nature Ranger Specialists by completing tasks and earning badges! Following a short group lesson, kids will be given the option to pursue a set of activities related to the topic, designed to deepen their awareness and familiarity through experience. Multiple different badge opportunities will be available each month.
