Where Learning is an Adventure Wildwood offers experiential education to awaken joy in learning in children ages 6-12. Through listening, seeing, manipulating and building models, conducting experiments, playing games, doing art and crafts and taking part in group discussions children at Wildwood discover that learning is exciting and fun. Some past workshops we have enjoyed are: Puppets and puppetry, Festivals of Light, World Religions, Wildwoodville, economics for children, Outreach, Playbuilding, Passport to the World and Christmas Around the World, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, BC History and the Gold Rush, Body Science, Geology and Ecology.
