Through the practice of parcours they learn the skills to safely land, roll, balance, crawl, run, leap, vault, help each other, climb & much more. All outdoors. | Students connect & engage with the natural world. They will learn about plant species, weather patterns, land history, seasonal changes, tracking & tracing, birds song, bugs & so much more. |
