The Afterschool Hawk’s Nest Tribe offers children a mindful, nature-based extension of the school day — a place to unwind, connect, and grow through creativity and community. Rooted in the same principles as our daytime program, this two-hour weekly gathering invites children ages 8–12 to explore emotional intelligence, collaboration, nature skills and self-expression through play, art projects, and connection with nature.

Creative Expression & Skill Building

Hands-on art, music, and storytelling projects foster self-expression, confidence, and creative problem-solving.

Reflection & Community Sharing

We close each session with reflection, conversation, and celebration — teaching children to articulate feelings, honor each other’s voices, and end the day in peace.

Our mission is to provide a safe, inspiring space where children can recharge after the school day, strengthen emotional intelligence, and experience the joy of belonging to a mindful, nature-connected community.

We help children grow into confident, compassionate, creative leaders — grounded in their own identity, attuned to others, and connected to the earth.
