Launching in January 2023, Elemental After School is dedicated to creative exploration in an outdoor setting. Activities are rooted in the elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water and incorporate experiential learning, using natural materials, collaborative building, skills development, and connection to the land through individual and group projects. Make new friends, learn new skills, get creative, explore nature!

Woolman’s 240-acre rural camp setting, including forest, trails, streams, and an organic farm, provides a backdrop for activities including art, cooking, craft, science, games, building, exploring, storytelling, gardening & play! We are proud to have a rotating group of guest experts join us alongside regular after-school staff once a month to share their skills, think local craftspeople, beekeepers, farmers, storytellers, artists, and more! Kids age 6-12 may sign up for 4 90-minute sessions per month, September-May.

Elemental Day Camp is an intensive version of Woolman’s year-round after school programming. Kids age 6-12 can come to Woolman for 5 fun-packed days of creative expression, nature exploration, individual and group projects. Several guest creatives will join us to lead activities in a variety of mediums and participants will have the opportunity to enjoy Woolman’s 240-acre campus!

Elemental After School is made possible in part by funding from the California Arts Council.

Full and partial scholarships are available for this program.
