Frosty Pines Outdoor Homeschool Adventures are an innovative approach to teaching children Environmental Education through a hands-on curriculum filled with fun recreational experiences.
Every time we see, touch, smell, taste and listen to the natural world, we allow our nervous system to both set our basic patterns of relating to the world and to create new pathways of learning, literally forming new neural connections in the brain and body.
The more senses we engage at one time, the more complex our learning is, and the more our brains want to explore. The more we repeat this pattern of multi-sensory learning, the greater our memories and ability to recall information becomes.
Mud, sand, rocks, streams, plants, trees, animal tracks, bird song and bugs provide year-round challenges to children’s growing brains and bodies that depend on a good sensory diet for higher learning and creativity. When these explorations are met with insightful questions – rather than direct answers- kids can take their learning to deeper levels. This process echoes an ancient way of learning that our ancestors practiced long ago.
