OASIS Mondays Fall

OASIS (Outdoor Adventure Steeped In Story) Mondays!

Hoyt Park, Madison, WI

Open to those in 1st-5th grade*

          *Kindergarteners welcome with prior approval, please email Coral. Thanks.

OASIS is a fully outdoor, nature immersed opportunity for kids to lead their adventure through exploration and imagination while being supported in social-emotional development and risk assessment. With a focus on Deep Nature Connection and storytelling, kids will play games, wildcraft, sneak, hide, build forts, share gratitude, tell stories, scamper up and over downed trees, listen to stories, and whatever else their imaginations create.

This program runs every other Monday, 2:00-5:00 PM, beginning September 16th and lasting for six adventures!

Dates: Sept 16 and 30, Oct 14 and 28, Nov 11 and 25 (Make up date in case of cancellation, Wednesday November 27th 9:00 - noon - MMSD does not have school this day)

A note about times - most MMSD elementary schools get out at 1:0 on Mondays, some get out at 2:00. Kids getting out of school at 2:00 are absolutely welcome! Please note that your child will be arriving late when you register and we'll check in with each other. 

We will be outside in all weather (rain, sun, snow). Cancellation will only occur for dangerous, extreme weather or if both primary mentors are sick (subs are available but one primary mentor will always be present)
