Farmer Juan is teaching us rope tricks! Surprisingly, it’s a very zen activity and puts our coordination skills to the test. #ropetricks #outdoorschoolrules #farmbasededucation

Annual Appeal: The Wonders & Joy of Nature! Children need time in nature. It gives them a safe place to challenge themselves and create a healthy relationship with the world. We want every child to experience the gift of nature in 2021. At Connolly Ranch Education Center, our approach to outdoor, farm-based education gives children ages 2 to 15 the freedom to explore, observe, ask questions and learn through their own initiative. We create an environment that fosters dynamic... learners, mindful leaders and divergent thinkers! Help us continue our work into the new year and beyond!
