Adventure Awaits... Outside!

“To raise a nature-bonded child is to raise a rebel, a dreamer, an innovator… someone who will walk their own verdant, winding path.” – Nicolette Sowder

Acorn Adventures: Afternoons are best spent Outdoors

Operating in alignment with the 9.5 month ACS calendar, Acorn Adventures is a 100% outdoors program designed for kids ages 3-6 that encourages confidence-building play, connection to others and the natural world, and developing fine and gross motor skills in the unique way that only exploring the outdoors can. 

​

Our staff have a passion for nurturing the lives and hearts of children and exploring the great outdoors.​ Acorn Adventures is located on a beautiful five-acre campus in West Asheville near the Hominy Creek Greenway. Contact us for a tour!
