Forest Schools
Cumming Nature Center recognizes the intrinsic relationship between children and nature. We offer three forest school programs that nurture this relationship.
Through unstructured play, curiosity-driven exploratory learning, hands-on science projects, and outdoor skills development, all within a physically safe and emotionally supportive environment.
