ECFE Outdoor Learning - Let's Go Outdoors


Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) -
ECFE 2024/2025

Outdoor experiences naturally provide children with opportunities to develop their whole selves while also learning hands-on about the world around them.

Children’s free time outside dropped by 38% between 1979 and 1999. “Unstructured” outdoor play today amounts to only about 30 minutes per week for each of our children. That’s barely 4 minutes per day.

Research shows that when children have outdoor experience in nature, they are happier, healthier and do better in school. It also improves learners’ attention, levels of stress, self-discipline, interest and enjoyment in learning and physical activity and fitness. (Jeffers Foundation)

ECFE Outdoor Learning/Nature-based play, will include but not limited to the following: digging holes, exploring, building stick forts, daydreaming in your secret spot or just “mucking around” in the woods. Class will happen all Fridays ECFE is in session, no matter the weather. Please dress for the weather and the bugs! Free class, no registration required! 

Class will be held at Cedar Ridge Outdoor Learning area.

8905 Braxton Drive, Eden Prairie, MN 55347

*Park in the general parking lot and walk to the left side of the building to the sign for Outdoor Learning and the path into the woods.
