Terrain OC is a unique three-hour drop-off bilingual-Spanish/English, outdoor forest school program for children located in Orange County at the beautiful 500-acre Irvine Regional Park, among the majestic oak and sycamore groves. Terrain is a small group, child-led, outdoor exploration and nature play program. What sets Terrain apart is our 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Children get to hike, explore, climb trees, pick flowers, watch wildlife, play in the dirt, listen to read-aloud stories, build forts, create stick and rock structures, collect leaves and seeds, run, and play. We want children to savor these precious early years by using their imaginations and exploring the beautiful outdoors. Students enjoy all the different terrains that the park has to offer: open trails, heritage tree groves, bridges, the lake, and grassy open spaces. Our amazing teacher is a fluent Spanish speaker and will also teach students basic Spanish vocabulary along the journey. This is a natural, early starting place that leads beautifully into our El Jardin Spanish, Art, and Nature program!
Ages 3-6 are welcome; children must be fully potty trained. Terrain’s small group size allows teachers to gently guide students as they learn to practice kindness, sharing, healthy risk-taking, empathy for others and for nature, and more- all while having awesome adventures in the outdoors.
