2025 YOUTH PROGRAMS
At CedarRoot, we view nature as our greatest teacher and the outdoors as our classroom. Our dynamic and highly regarded Nature Studies Programs encourage children to connect to the natural world, build confidence in the outdoors and learn attitudes of respect toward all of Earth’s creatures.
Looking ahead to 2025!

“(My son) absolutely ADORES CedarRoot. It’s the highlight of his week. Thank you to you, Ramzy and Diego, for being so great to (him). He’s a lot for much of the world and at CedarRoot he gets a break from being “too much” and just gets to be. You have no idea how important it is! ”
“This program consistently provides an extraordinary depth of nature immersion, playful collaboration, independent skill building and social enrichment. It is our daughter’s favorite day of the week - and has been for years!”
“CedarRoot has been a life-changer for our family. We have three children ages 17, 14, and 9 currently and all three have enjoyed the outdoors in their own ways. The new environments and new people, braving the outdoors together really brought out the best in the children.”
“In the age of competing screen time, having access to enjoyable “green” time is so vital. CedarRoot is a phenomenal program offering young people the ability to connect with nature and each other through games in the woods and stories around the fire. Being involved with this program has been enormously beneficial for my child’s personal development and I’m most grateful for the opportunity.”
