Kinder 2
Who it’s for
Our Kinder 2 Program is designed for children ages 5 to 6 who are ready to build a strong foundation in literacy, math, science, and critical thinking. It’s perfect for curious, independent kids who thrive in hands-on learning environments and love exploring the outdoors.
Breaking Walls:
Learning Beyond the Classroom
At Curious Campers, learning isn’t confined to four walls. Our Kinder 2 program embraces the outdoors as the ultimate classroom, where nature sparks curiosity, creativity, and growth.
Learning with Purpose and Confidence
Academics come to life through hands-on experiences, storytelling, and real-world connections, making learning meaningful and lasting. Through guided discovery and independent thinking, kids learn to connect experiences to broader ideas and develop confidence in expressing their thoughts.
Building Character and Independence
Children take greater responsibility for their learning and actions, developing problem-solving skills and resilience in real-life situations. They gain confidence, responsibility, and strong learning habits — preparing them to think, explore, and solve problems beyond the classroom.
Mastery Through Exploration
Literacy, numeracy, and scientific thinking are woven into engaging activities like nature journaling, experiments, and immersive stories — so learning feels natural, not forced. Through reflective learning and self-expression, kids articulate their thoughts and demonstrate understanding with confidence.

Yes, there are tests, but we don’t just give typical sit-down test papers. Instead, we use Charlotte Mason-inspired assessments like narration (where children retell what they’ve learned), project-based evaluations, and hands-on demonstrations to assess understanding. Students will also be graded accordingly based on their performance and progress.

Weather doesn't hold us back. Rain or shine (except for REALLY bad weather), there's always something to learn outdoors. In fact, each weather condition offers its own unique lessons. Rainy days are perfect for studying water cycles and observing how different plants and animals respond to precipitation. Sunny days invite exploration of shadows, photosynthesis, and the importance of sunscreen.
Ultimately, outdoor classes foster a sense of wonder and curiosity that can't be replicated indoors. They encourage kids to use all their senses, to ask questions, and to engage with the world in a meaningful way. So let's embrace the mess, brave the elements, and let our kids roam free in the great outdoors in appropriate clothing of course!
