Sapling Adventure Kids Our philosophy is that children should spend a large portion of the day out of doors to foster their innate craving for experience and mastery of their natural environment. We provide children the space to grow their critical thinking capacity, creativity, and social intelligence through experiential learning opportunities that are learner driven. Through careful observation of the children, staff are able to thoughtfully craft invitations to play, pose questions, and lead the children to deeper exploration of the experience at hand. We venture into the world collaboratively to explore the evolving and unexpected wonders of childhood and nature.  Saplings Adventure Kids is an outdoor emersion program for children 4-12 years old, that meets twice a week, from 10:00-2:00 at various locations in the greater San Luis Obispo area. We hike, climb and play together, learning the wonders of our local ecosystem. 

​All programs are led by our Director, Julia Valentine.
