“I’m a social worker for a local police department so I am really particular about where my kids attend programs and who runs them. CodiAnne and Hailey have managed to surpass all of my expectations. Wild Crescent has provided a safe, caring, and adventurous environment for my kids to learn more about nature and themselves. Early on I witnessed how the kids learned to appreciate the beauty of nature through all the games they started to play in our neighborhood. A stick was now Stella the stick! And outside has now become a place of discovery! Getting my kids to spend more time outside has always been a goal of mine, and Wild Crescent has helped me do that! The kids can’t wait to sign up again!” 

“I stumbled upon Forest School and I am SO happy that I did. My 4yro daughter absolutely loved it and couldn’t wait to go back so much she wished it was every day 😃 This program creates a wonderful thriving environment for kids to get out and explore the outdoors and imagination with others. Kids get to PLAY with others with the bonus of having two supportive and positive teachers who promote creativity, imagination, and associate it with learning about their environment. I highly recommend this program for any parent looking for something that is a little less traditional and more outdoor and creative minded. I will continue to enroll my daughter as long as the program runs with these two wonderful ladies!”

This was the perfect way for my child to start the summer. Lifelong memories were made. I love love love all of the outdoor physical activity. At the end of each day, I enjoyed hearing about the day's happenings. We are Wild Crescent fans! 

Wild Crescent did backflips for us to help our family sync forest school schedules with a friend's family, they are great. CodiAnne and Hailey are professionals. They are both very special people, guides, and teachers. Our son learned the concept of a home base and identifying landmarks to navigate a path. He is a tough nut to crack but CodiAnne and Hailey had him jabbering in no time!

I am SO grateful that I was told about Wild Crescent Forest School by a friend. We love everything about it!! From the philosophy of Forest School to the excellent teachers, I’m sure they all played a part in the extraordinary joy that filled my kids at pick up each day. They were always supported to explore the environment and at the same time learned to do it in a way that was respectful and they honored the shared community park where forest school was held. CodiAnne and Hailey are truly gifted teachers and they are masters of preparation and adaptation when responsible for a group of children.

"My daughter was greatly enriched by her participation in Wild Crescent Forest School. The outdoor environment helped her learn more social and emotional skills. CodiAnne and Hailey were wonderful teachers and mentors. We will be returning next year!”

“My (almost) 8 YO granddaughter did the summer program and really enjoyed it a lot. She really enjoyed everything, especially the tree circle. We look forward to checking out other camps through Wild Crescent Forest School.” 

CodiAnne runs an amazing Forest school program tailored to the unique group of kids for each class. She is so engaged, thoughtful and kind and my kid is always excited to tell me something new she learned about nature when she comes home from Forest school. We can't wait for another year of Forest school with Ms CodiAnne, what a great service to our community!

We have been thrilled with CodiAnne and the forest school program she runs. She balances out student led and instructor guided play.  After each session, my daughter shared about the creative ways she engaged with nature and often continued the play in our yard on the weekends. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful camp option for our child and will be returning next year!

There are so many things to love about this program. They are up and moving their bodies, they are learning about the environment around them, they are supported in some self-directed play, and they get to satisfy some of their little curiosities all while in great hands. CodiAnne is so kind and thoughtful, very trustworthy and great with the kids. And as a bonus for parents, there is great flexibility in the scheduling. Our son loves it and we are so appreciative of this offering!

After spending all day inside at school Forest School is a huge reprieve. My little boys come home recharged and calmer than any other  program or camp. They love it rain, shine, snow. CodiAnne creates such an exploratory and imaginative space for the kiddos. We love the day camps where they get to check out other parks in the area and spend green time not screen time. CodiAnne has been an incredible addition to our focus on the outdoors and imaginative play.

CodiAnne and her nature program have been hands down the best extracurricular activity we have enrolled our 5 year old in. She is kind, patient, and somehow manages to control these wild little things. Our son comes home every time telling us about new animals, plants and other things he has learned about, so excited to share what "CodiAnne said...". She always caters to each childs' individual needs and provides support and encouragement for their independence, exploration, and growth. This is not only an educational program, but a space where the kids are improving their social skills, and of course most important of all having FUN! Although we wash a lot more clothes and shoes now, this program is worth it! 

My kids have done this program for a few years and it is great! They love the nature play and Ms CodiAnne is awesome!

Wild Crescent provides my daughters with exactly what kids need - to find their own fun in nature, guided but without too much direction. This is the type of play that kids don't get enough of anymore. CodiAnne makes it so FUN that they can't wait to go back for their next session, even if it's blazing hot outside or if they're bundled up for some fun on a cold winter day. This is exactly what kids need to build some grit, and I'm so grateful!

In a world full of screens, it’s so refreshing to see someone prioritize real connection and time outdoors. CodiAnne’s nature program has been such a gift for our girls; full of activities that keep them moving, curious, and connected to the environment around them.

They especially loved “Forest Camp” and it was hands-down their favorite part of the week! There’s just something about being outside that brings out their best selves; they always come home happy, calm, and full of stories. I only wish Colorado allowed for year-round Forest Camp!
