Play Adventures

Organization Description

Our purpose is to advocate for children's rights to play and learn through active investigation, outdoors, and based on their curiosity. We offer multiple programs from age 0-10 where we implement self directed play opportunities using loose parts and the support of a non judgmental adult. Our four tenants represent our core values which allow children to explore their own interests and motivations in a variety of ways while learning to accept others, be kind to their environment, assess their own risks and self-discover.

Health & Safety

All kids have signed waivers to allow photography only for play adventures use.
