About the Program

The Middle Years Program offers holistic, engaging and culturally enriched programming for children ages 6 to 12. This stage of childhood is a time of growth, curiosity and change and our programming is designed to help children develop confidence, emotional awareness and healthy relationships.

Through a mix of group and one-on-one activities, land-based learning and culturally grounded experiences, children are encouraged to explore who they are, build positive connections and develop skills that support their overall well-being.
