Canticle Farm's Outdoor Classroom

In July 2026, we unveiled our new Outdoor Classroom, where nature, gardening, the arts, and imagination come together along the Five Mile Creek edge of Canticle Farm North.  Designed by staff member Max Shelgren, this space incorporates whimsical play features including a reading hut, mud kitchen, tree house, rope swing, and pathway to the creek.  

The first program offering, for 4–6-year-olds, was on Tuesday mornings July 28 through August 18.  More sessions are planned for fall 2026, so stay tuned!
