Geared toward PreK-6th graders, this program is for those wanting the maximum amount of time for free play and exploration on the three-acre nature playscape. Find over twelve play zones inviting imaginative play. Climb on a giant oak “Sally Mander,” discover an oversize nest with wooden eggs, make mud pies in nature’s kitchen, and wade in a spring-fed stream. The Playscape may be enjoyed by all ages, however, most play elements are geared to children three to twelve.

Eco-Escape Room: Mystery in the Meadow
Geared toward grades 6 and up, students divide into small groups to tackle ecology-themed challenges all across Wildrock’s campus. Challenges introduce stewardship principles and some of the ecological processes unfolding at Wildrock every day. Each team brings back what they have learned for a capstone conversation at the end of the 2 hour challenge. The narrative for the escape room is campy, involving mysterious beings that have trapped Wildrock in time, and requires participants to investigate several processes in nature that take time. Scientific discussion may include topics such as erosion, succession, decomposition, ecosystem engineers, and seed dispersal. Participants will have time during the escape room to experience the property and roam freely on the Discovery Loop trail with peers.
