Spring Flow

Our spring season centers on growth, connection, and hands-on learning. As the weather warms, we spend more time outdoors, using parks, neighborhoods, and community spaces as classrooms. Children explore nature-based science, creative arts, and collaborative projects through play, curiosity, and shared discovery.

What the semester looks like…

Program Structure

Weekly meetups allow our families the opportunity to connect with one another and with the community. We spend time in nature, prioritize taking care of the remerging nature, and emphasize leaning into the skillshares by our neighbors and small businesses.

What’s Included

Tuition covers all program materials, from art supplies to our seasonal birthday celebration. A more comprehensive cost breakdown can be found on the ‘Cost’ page. Every child gets a ‘Field Notes’ book at the start of each semester.

Session Dates

Meetups start in January and end in May.

Age Groups

Our program is designed for kids of all ages. We take into account the ranges of ages in our cohort group and will lean into activities that accommodate everyone. We generally tailor our activities and meet-ups for kiddos in the elementary and middle school age range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spring Flow starts in March and goes through May.
We try our hardest to stay within the Twin Cities. This is inspired by our push for leaning into our hyper local communities. However, your family DOES NOT have to live within the cities. If you live outside of the cities, you will likely be coming in for 75% of the meetups. Typically, our trips to the suburbs are for things like nature centers or farms!
