LEARNING IN, WITH AND THROUGH NATURE 

WELCOME TO HAMILTON FOREST SCHOOL

Hamilton Forest School takes place in a natural environment, and the program is spent exclusively outdoors. The focus is on bilingual instruction (French and English), child-centered learning, free-play, and self-led activities. Hamilton Forest School educators actively support learning that is driven and inspired by the child’s curiosity and inquiry. Risky play, stewardship, and environmental perspectives play key roles in this program.

Our five-year-old son loved this camp! He always looked forward to Saturday mornings, when he'd get to explore nature, engage in nature-based play with other kids, and learn various French vocab words for the various local flora and fauna. Miss Cat is cheery and welcoming, and our son took to her right away. I'd recommend this camp to any young children who enjoy exploring and playing in nature. C'est fantastique!
