One day
Field trips
A customized, curriculum-connected day in the woods: science, nature ID, teamwork and free play. We have hosted field trips of 50+ children at Pouch Camp.
Schools & groups
Forest school field trips & residencies for NYC schools
Bring your class into 120 acres of Staten Island Greenbelt woods. We design customized, curriculum-connected field trips and multi-week residencies, and we run play workshops for teachers and grown-ups too.
Ways to bring your group to the forest
Weekly
Residencies
A regular half-day in the forest over a season, so students can return to the same place, finish long projects and see the woods change.
Grown-ups
Play for adults & staff
Play is sacred work, and grown-ups need it too. Hands-on workshops for school staff, educators and parent groups.
What students experience
Every visit follows the forest school rhythm: a welcome circle, a short nature-based skill or craft, open-ended exploration and a closing gratitude circle. Facilitators observe, assess risk and support learning through conversation, so students practice problem-solving, collaboration and self-regulation in a real natural setting.
Older students can take on real responsibility. Teens from Staten Island Academy built the table for our mud kitchen, and their work is still used every week.
Plan your trip
Tell us your school, grade or grades, the number of students and adults, your preferred dates and any learning goals, and we will design a day that fits.
