We believe children build the strongest executive functioning (EF) skills when they’re immersed in meaningful, real-world experiences.
Our Outdoor Social Groups, officially called the EF Social Outpost, combine nature play, parent coaching, and peer interaction to help children grow in independence, creativity, and problem-solving, all while having fun!
This program is designed for children with Social Executive Function challenges, and equally for parents who want tools and strategies they can carry into everyday life.
“Yes, there will be mud. There will be sticks and stones. There will be risk, laughter, and problem-solving. And most importantly, there will be growth.”
