What is Tiny Forest Academy?
Tiny Forest Academy is a fully-insured, alternative, outdoor learning place meant to supplement and compliment your child’s existing education. We provide space for curiosities to be explored, skills to be practiced, and adventures to be had! Our programs promote fostering a connection to nature, finding time to connect to ourselves, and to respect and connect to others.
We currently host our Tiny Forest Academy Programs during the school year, Outdoor Summer Camps, After-School Adventure Programs, and PA/March Break camps.
Founded by Whitney Glage in 2018, Tiny Forest Academy (TFA) was the natural outcome after years of outdoor adventures, teaching, and working with children. TFA is a place for a community of like-minded families to embrace their nature exploration, learning, experiences, and adventures!
“Research now backs up what forest school practitioners have known all along – that children and young people are stimulated by the outdoors and typically experience, over time, an increase in their self belief, confidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication and problem-solving skills and emotional well-being.”
