What we offer at Whimsical Forest Adventures...
The Whimsical Forest Day Camp is a haven for children to explore, learn, and play in the heart of nature. Nestled on the edge Cloquet, our camp offers a unique and magical experience that fosters growth, creativity, and connection with the outdoors. With a focus on environmental education and fun adventures, we provide a safe space for children to thrive and create everlasting memories.
Single Time Classes
​We offer single 2-hour class programs that focus on creative art projects or hands-on skill-building rooted in outdoor and environmental education.
Each class includes:
-
1 hour of guided instruction on a nature-based art project or practical outdoor skill
-
1 hour of free play and exploration in the magical Whimsical Forest 🌳✨
These classes are a great option when you need a little time to yourself — whether to check off your to-do list or simply enjoy a breather — while knowing your child is engaged, active, and learning in a beautiful, enriching environment. Monthly schedules will be posted and registration is required to attend the programs.
Day Camps
Family classes
Our Family and Caregiver-Child classes are 2-hour sessions designed to nurture both learning and connection.
Each class includes:
-
1 hour of guided instruction through a nature-inspired project or activity
-
1 hour of playtime for children, while adults have the opportunity to relax, connect, and build community with fellow caregivers
It’s a beautiful way for families to engage together — learning, exploring, and forming meaningful bonds in the heart of nature. 💚 These classes will also be on the monthly schedules and registration is required.
