Forest Afterschool

ages 5-12

Kids need to run and jump, laugh and explore after a long day in school (we love school, but we think recess is way too short). Our Forest Afterschool Explorers are a tight-knit crew that comes together week after week, and we're always happy to welcome a new explorer into the fold! Sign up for one or two days a week.

Forest Afterschool is tailored to your kids' interests and curiosity. Our top-notch staff will facilitate all sorts of exciting nature-based activities, but we're at our best and happiest when the kids decide on the day’s expedition. Nature art, fort villages, creek crawls, games, and critter catching are just a few of the paths we can choose. The adventures and memories made at Forest Afterschool are unique - experiences that can’t be found indoors, behind a desk, or in front of a screen.

Drop off 2:45-3:00pm Pick up 5:30-5:45pm

PLEASE NOTE: We will adventure rain or shine. Please plan to drop off your children with appropriate gear for the weather (e.g., raincoats and rain boots for rainy days; hats, gloves, and warm coats for cold, etc.). We will only cancel if there is severe weather (i.e., tornadoes, blizzards) in the forecast.


Forest Afterschool is currently available Mondays and Wednesdays after school.

No transportation is provided, but we’re happy to help connect Chapel Hill, Durham, and Hillsborough carpoolers!
