Summer Parent Handbook

Mission:

The Little Blue Creche Daycamp is dedicated to nurturing a deep connection between children and nature through hands-on, play-based outdoor learning. Our mission is to inspire curiosity, foster resilience, and cultivate a love for the wild places.

 

Vision:

We are rewilding childhood to save the planet. 

 

Philosophy:

We believe that children thrive when given the freedom to explore, take appropriate risks, and build relationships with the earth and each other. Our approach is rooted in the forest school model, emphasizing inquiry-based learning, emotional well-being, and respect for the environment.

 

Staff:

Our experienced and certified outdoor educators are passionate about nature-based education and child development. Each staff member is trained in outdoor safety, CPR/First Aid, and wilderness risk management. We follow the guidelines set out by the Wilderness Education Association. Staff biographies are available on our website and in your welcome packet.

 

All staff have a background check and a fingerprint Livescan. Three references are recorded for all staff members. 

 

Staff members have been trained on-site at each location in wilderness education, safety, risk management, and outdoor curriculum development.
