ages 10 through 12

As children grow to discover more about themselves and the world around them, Folksy is here with a new offering just for them: a fully integrated program with their peers that incorporates both The Folksy House and Folksy in the Forest into a full-day rhythm two days a week.
‍
The Folksy House will be like a second home as children learn what it really means to practice community stewardship. Together with their friends, they will prepare food from scratch, build math and literacy skills, find rest in intentionally spaced “brain breaks” for unstructured imaginative play, and dedicate time to mastering of one of four foundations: Handwork, Lost Skills, Painting & Artistic Expression, and Storytelling & Drama. Learning at The Folksy House is a collaborative process where children have access to the tools and mentorship they need not only to build confidence and proficiency in practical skills, but to be inspired to keep discovering new things.
‍
The Folksy in the Forest space offers an immersive outdoor learning experience. Certified Forest School instructors lead a “Spark Discovery,” which sparks critical thinking and collaborative play in an emergent learning environment. Math, literacy, science, and history are explored alongside nature study, not as individual and abstract subjects but as interrelated areas of study with real-life application. Research shows that learning outside encourages critical thinking, enhances focus, fosters resilience, supports informed risk management, builds confidence, and exercises effective problem-solving skills. In the outdoors, Folksy kids are inspired to test the limits or their abilities while they learn to collaborate with others through play.

A full day at Folksy is an adventure that inspires the head, hands, and heart!
