Helping your child unlock skills and true joy in the great outdoors
Outdoor play — the ultimate sensory gym for growing minds and bodies.

We see nature as an essential co-facilitator to help children explore, learn, and regulate their nervous systems. Our work is rooted in giving children the freedom to move, discover, and learn among the trees, dirt, and changing weather.

"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in." ~Rachel Carson

LOKi acknowledges that we gather on the traditional and contemporary lands of the Lisjan Ohlone and other Indigenous peoples. For thousands of years, hundreds of generations, the Lisjan Ohlone people have lived on the land that is now known as the East Bay in the San Francisco Bay Area. "We did not own the land, we belonged to it."
