Summer Family Forest School Non-Member Registration

About This Program

Interested in Forest School but have children too young for our school year offerings? Try our Family Forest School program! This 90 minute program will allow children 18 months to 3.5 years and their caregivers time to explore at the pace of young children and become immersed in the environment. 

Each week we will set out to visit some of our favorite Forest School play spots and engage in developmentally appropriate nature exploration and experimentation. Our play will be hands-on, messy, and fun! This program will be held outdoors, rain or shine, and is only cancelled in the event of extreme weather, with 1 makeup date available per session. Please dress accordingly! Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Class may not run if there is low registration. Fees are per caregiver/child pair. Siblings may attend with a caregiver/child pair at a reduced rate for the series. No unregistered siblings, please!  

Series Member Price: $210

Series Non-member Price: $288

Daily Member Price: $35

Daily Non-member Price: $48

Family Forest School Policies

Program Policies

  • Please respect the wildlife and their homes. Take only pictures . . . and leave nothing. 
  • Registrants are asked to please arrive 5 minutes in advance of program/event start time. If participants arrive late, the group may have moved toward the day's program location. We ask late attendees to stop by the Visitors' Center to confirm the group's location. 

  • Stay home if you are sick. 

  • In the event a registered participant can no longer attend, we ask registrants to notify TNC before the first date of the series by emailing the Forest School Director at forestschool@tenaflynaturecenter.org. This allows us to contact any waitlisted families. 

Refund Policies

  • No refunds will be given after a series begins. 

  • A $50 processing fee applies to all refunds. 

  • If you’re unable to attend, please contact us, we’ll do our best to transfer your registration to a future date. If a transfer isn’t possible, the following refund policy applies:

    • More than 48 hours’ notice: 50% refund

  • For series based programs, if Tenafly Nature Center cancels (e.g. inclement weather) no refund will be given. This session will have predetermined dates for makeup classes available should TNC cancel a class during the run of this series.
