There is always something they come back talking about whether it’s something the built in the woods, a whittled stick or learning how to make beeswax torches.
White Ash provides an environment where my children can express themselves in a healthy and safe way.
Our grandson was able to make some really good friends and learn how to be social without having us around to cue him as to what to do.
I have noticed beautiful expansion of Birch’s personality and self autonomy since starting this program. The container you all create for him and his peers to gather together outdoors and play and learn and support one another has brought him so much joy and built his confidence. I am so thankful for finding this program. Thank you deeply.
Thanks for putting so much time and energy into all this. Avi really enjoys her days with you.
The project based learning activities are amazing there is no traditional school that will teach him how to tan a deer hide or build a fire with just a flint and steel. He is not restricted to sitting at a desk and is allowed to explore his environment with guidance from his mentors.
Learning should be fun. Not all learn best in a classroom setting and white ash provides what the public school system lacks in this way.
The four years with White Ash Learning has helped my son learn to interact in (more) cooperative, creative and confident ways with children AND adults. So glad to see this collaborative, creative, confident, enthusiastic being emerging
Winter camp really helped us break out of a rut and open our eyes again to possibility.
