Because Play Has No Age Limit…
Join us for a unique, nature-based experience for older adults. Rooted in the principles of forest school, senior play sessions invite participants to explore the outdoors, build community, and enjoy pleasures of creativity, movement, and connection.
Guided by the seasonal changes in Chicago’s natural areas, and grounded in respect for every stage of life, play sessions will offer meaningful, sensory-rich activities to accommodate a range of abilities and interests. Whether through exchanging stories and skills, walking the trails, using our hands for art-making and mess-making, or simply listening to the birds, we hope to provide time and space for older adults to spend communal time outside, nurture creativity, and to embrace playfulness and collaborative learning.
