The Sunbeam Mission

At Sunbeam Nature School, we believe every child deserves abundant outdoor time for play, exploration, and physical activity. Our mission is to empower children and their families to embrace the outdoors, immersing in the joy and beauty of nature.

As a pioneering nature-based learning and working farm, we are dedicated to regenerative agriculture practices, honoring the earth and water. Our commitment extends to combating climate change through eco-friendly gardening, responsible shepherding, and engaging in community events.

Sunbeam Nature School offers a unique, tuition-free co-op educational experience for children aged 2 to 6, alongside enriching classes and camps for school-age children starting at 4.9 years old. Our programs are tailored to nurture a deep connection with nature, fostering environmental stewardship from an early age.
