Forest school

At Forest School, kids dive into the wonders of God’s creation—climbing, discovering, and letting curiosity lead. With room for adventure and hands-on learning, each day in the forest is a chance to grow. Programs for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and homeschoolers alike reflect our belief in the magic of the forest for every learner.

RETREAT CENTER

The Firs is in a season of prayerful discernment as we seek clarity for the future of our retreat ministry. As part of this, we’ve chosen to place our retreat center on furlough beginning in October 2025.

Because of this, we are not booking

overnight groups for 2026 at this time. If you’re interested in day use, please reach out.
