Description

Treeline is rooted in the fact that nature offers countless opportunities for children to develop physical skills, adapt to change, and process emotions. We don’t just work and play IN the forest, at Treeline we see the forest as our active partner in promoting childhood development and wellness. Treeline exists as an important way to bring immersive forest play and outdoor therapy to children and their families.

At Treeline, families find a unique continuum of programs and services to support their children’s needs, outdoors! Forest play programs are for all children and support global child development. Outdoor occupational therapy services are offered for children with identified goals to support individualized skills and capacities. The Treeline approach:

honors the unique strengths and skills of all children,
emphasizes the trust and sense of safety kids need to learn and
keeps play at the core of all programs and services.

Scenes from Treeline Enrichment

Looking down from above, four children sit around a large tin bucket of soil, from which they are collaborating and working together in filling their smaller plastic pots by hand.

A clearing in a woodland is set up for community gathering, with 12 wooden stumps circling a space for a campfire. There is a canopy suspended above that provides some shade coverage and outside the circle, more logs are arranged for seating.

A group of nine people of various ages walks through the forest on a wide, open path, building connections and participating in movement.

In the seasonal creek at Treeline, stepping-stones are situated at intervals bridging both banks. Further back there is a slide, which exits into the water. All of the area is surrounded by lush trees and greenery.

Two hammocks are hung between three large, mature trees in the forest. In the background, younger, smaller trees can be seen, as well as even larger older trees with large branches sweeping low onto the floor of the Treeline 10 acre forest.

A small, simple wooden structure with the title “Treeline Café” written in colorful bold letters is situated in a forest clearing.
