Wild Craft Play ‘sCool is here and we are… …committed to fostering deep connections to self, others and the Earth through Performing Arts and Adventure Education in Nature! We are providing Performing Arts and Adventure Education for children ages 8 and up.

Let’s get started with fun and affordable, local and ‘lower risk’ activities in our neck of the woods.

The Director, Jamie Black, grew up in the Errington/Qualicum Beach area and has explored, played and performed across Central Vancouver Island her whole life. After many years of higher education, she is offering experiential learning adventures in her own unique way. Click here to learn more about Jamie Black.

We are starting with activities that do not require a trailer, so that we can get a taste for what the children are capable of. We are seeking funding to purchase an R-Pod in the $10,000 range, if you have any leads please contact me directly [email protected] | 250-927-7923

Do you wish your children were playing less video games and spend more time outside? This is what Jamie Black studied in her masters thesis “The Hummingbird Approach: A Case Study of Guided Discovery Learning for Children in Nature.” She believes that there are a few key factors deterring children from spending more time in nature.

Jamie Black believes that if children engaged in Nature the same way they engaged in their video games, they would have all of the same adventures, yet more physical activity, social interaction, health benefits from being among the trees, more attentive, and an increased overall quality of life. Discover what level you are at with your skills in: wilderness survival, fire making, role-play dramatic storytelling, costume design, questing, finding treasures, kayaking, caving, mountain biking, hiking and more. We have a 4:1 (child to adult) ratio for safety reasons. “We are really excited about this. It is one of those totally serendipitous things, where we were wishing that something like this existed… and here it is.” ~ Kirstin Marshall For those seeking enriching programming, social engagement and/or core curriculum outcomes.
