We’re so glad you found us.
This is our very first season, and we couldn’t be more excited to grow together.

​

Have you ever felt that there had to be another way to raise and educate children?

One that moves slower. Feels more connected.

Rooted in community, creativity, and the natural world?

You’re not alone. And you’re in the right place.

At Crystal’s Nature School, we gather outdoors each week to learn in harmony with the seasons. Our programs serve all ages, little ones, homeschoolers, teens, adults, and whole families, offering a space to slow down, explore, and belong.

 

🌱 What We Believe

We believe children thrive when they have:

• space to move their bodies and follow their curiosity

• time to be still in nature and observe

• support to express themselves through art and story

• community that sees and celebrates who they are

​

Our curriculum is handmade and flexible, shaped by the real-time interests and needs of the group. While we offer gentle structure and nature themes, the learning is led by the children and the land.

We’re here to guide—not direct.

 

🎨 Our Approach Is Built on Three Pillars:

• Creativity – time to make, imagine, and explore

• Community – meaningful relationships, multigenerational support

• Scientific Exploration – hands-on nature study, inquiry, and discovery

We don’t rush childhood.

We believe in learning that feels real, joyful, and rooted.

 

🗺️ Where We Meet

Each group meets weekly at rotating trails, forests, prairies, ponds, and other wild spaces across Central Wisconsin. Locations are chosen to match the theme of the week—whether that’s seeds, frogs, constellations, or fall leaves. Check the schedule of each group in its corresponding page. 

 

 

Group Schedules:

• Mondays: Columbia, Marquette & Green Lake Counties

• Tuesdays: Adams & Juneau Counties

• Wednesdays: Sauk County

​

Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
