Testimonials

The Wilderness Cubs is a wonderful outdoor education for preschoolers. Michelle loves nature and cares for animals, and shares this passion with the students. My child is beyond happy at the school, he would happily go each and every day. He gets to explore and learn. We are so fortunate to have this jewel of a school in our backyard. ~June 2025 Diana Hendrick
 

We have been going to Wilderness Cubs this year and it is such a sweet addition to my child’s preschool life. A whole day spent outside in nature – learning about animals, wildlife, trees, and more is such a wonderful program! My child always comes home excited about the adventure of the day (hikes, scavenger hunts, using binoculars or nets, etc) and has lots of stories – much more than he does after his normal in school preschool days. We look forward to our Wilderness Cubs days so much! I highly recommend this program to anyone I know! ~ June 2025 Courtney Robinson
