Bay Area Little House on the Bay: Farms & Ranches
Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic series of books have inspired children and adults for generations. The world is changing and local arts and crafts can inspire new and old way of home life.
During this week, we explore a world of people living connected and in harmony to the land around them. We visit and work with local farmers, help build structures out of natural materials, and explore what life could be like for humans who live locally and and take care of the land around them.
Learn how to grow food and take care of animals by visiting the many farms and ranches of Marin. Milk goats, plant vegetables and pick flowers and fruit. Field trip locations this week: Green Gulch Farm, Marin Art and Garden Center, a local ranch
Mobile Camps visit the farms, beaches and wild spots of Marin. There are so many amazing places to explore in Marin. From beaches to farms our mobile camps take kids to places they would go if they could drive.

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess.
