Hidden Meadow School is an outdoor forest school on Sleater-Kinney Road in Olympia serving ages 2.5-5 during the school year, combining nature-based learning with traditional early education. It runs a summer camp for ages 3-10 as three separate themed weeks - outdoor skills and wild adventure in early July, growing food and caring for animals in late July, and nature observation and tracking in early August - and families can sign up for one, two or all three weeks.

★★★★★Anneliese PetersonHidden meadow is a magical place with great summer camp options!
★★★★★Tom BruistenEverytime I pick the little guy up he's had so much fun and barely wants to leave. He really enjoys his time there with Molly, Jake, Dani and all the other kids. He won't stop talking about them and all his friends. I think it's an amazing environment for him to be in, he gets to be outside, he gets to be social with other kids, he gets to problem solve and learn so many things about nature. I'm so glad this opportunity exists for him and it's been such a joy watching him thrive in it.
★★★★★Alan RyanHidden Meadow Forest School has been an incredible gift to our family! Rain or shine, the children are immersed in nature from climbing, to building, to observing wildlife and growing more confident in themselves and their place in the world. Molly, Dani, and Jake are thoughtful, patient, and deeply respectful of each child’s pace and personality. My child has gained confidence, problem-solving skills, and a genuine love for the outdoors. If you’re looking for a program that values connection, creativity, and hands-on learning, this forest school is truly special :)
★★★★★Kady GoehleAs a parent, I can’t say enough good things about Hidden Meadow Forest School. My son attends the school, and watching him grow here has been truly special. Hidden Meadow offers something rare: a place where children are deeply respected, encouraged to be curious, and supported as whole humans. The balance between outdoor adventure and intentional learning is incredible. Whether they’re exploring the meadow, listening to stories, or engaging in hands-on play, every part of the day feels purposeful and child-centered. Molly, Dani, and Jake are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about each child. My son feels safe, confident, and excited to go to school, which means everything to me as a parent. Hidden Meadow isn’t just a school, it’s a community, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.
