Our 'Forest Club' program is designed for children who are homeschooled ages 5.5 to 15 years. The daily activities include outdoor exploration and hands-on engagement throughout the various areas on the farm and in our forest home. Students' interests and group community building are supported through farm and garden activities, cooking over the fire, storytelling and song, land to craft projects (for example: wood working & fiber arts), and more.

INTRODUCING Autumn 2025:

Apprentice Guides in Training for youth ages 12 to 17 years (please see Registration Form below)

​

This year we are introducing our Apprentice Guides in Training for youth ages 12 to 17. The youth must be registered for the programming in which the Apprentice Guide Training will occur even if upper age of that program is younger than the Apprentice Guide in Training.

 

Apprentice Guides in Training will deepen their practical skills while learning how to support younger children as they engage in Wild Rose's land to craft curriculum. They engage in all of the things they loved doing at Wild Rose as a young person (forestry-wood craft, grass-fiber crafts, farm-table, etc.) AND they get to help teach the younger children how to do it too. By teaching the younger ones Apprentice Guides in Training deepen their relationship to their craft and the natural world that makes food, art and craft possible.

 

To apply please email a scanned hand written letter from your child explaining why they would like to be a Apprentice Guide in Training. If writing is difficult, call/email Elizabeth to arrange a alternative: elizabeth@wildrosefarmnh.org.

For ease of an enrollment option for a full day at Wild Rose Farm we have included our Thursday 'Community Days' Registration with the 'Forest Club' Registration form.
