The Logical Song and Nature Based Learning

We have the 70’s rock band, Supertramp, to thank for these lyrics:

“When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

“But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical”

Sound familiar?

Sequoia’s Treehouse is dedicated to retaining the wonder, the magic, the beauty, and the joy inherent in learning. There will be more than enough time, in your child’s future, for traditional “learning.”  For now, let’s all rejoice in watching the children smile when they discover something through nature-based learning.
