Afterschool at NBNC

NBNC is the place to be after class!

Afterschool “Treksplorers” at NBNC brings children into the wild to employ a model of playful experiential education where children learn by activating all of their senses and building a sense of belonging in a community of their peers. Adventures may include tracking, foraging, cooking over a fire, storytelling, cooperative games, or expeditions into the forest. Activities are chosen to be appropriate to the ages and interests of the students.

  • If requested one week or less before the first day of programming, we will be unable to issue a refund.

In the case of extreme weather, we may need to cancel a session.  If local area public schools have cancelled for the day, it is a good chance we will too.  We will notify you by email. In the case of a cancellation, we will schedule a make-up day.  If for some reason your child cannot attend a session, we cannot reimburse you for that missed day. NBNC reserves the right to cancel a program due to COVID-19 safety considerations.

Registration

To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.
