The Shoresh Outdoor School bridges meaningful Jewish learning with hands-on, nature-based experiences!
Give your kids the gift of Jewish learning…in the great outdoors! Through urban wilderness experiences, students (SK-Grade 6) explore Jewish holidays and cycles, mitzvot and rituals, and ethical teachings, while being active, building community, and experiencing moments of deep nature connection. Shoresh Outdoor School is pluralistic and open to the many ways that our community members live and learn Jewishly.

TESTIMONIALS:
“[My child] has enjoyed every moment of the program and is so eager to share what she’s learned each week.”
-Parent of Shoresh Outdoor School Participant
“The girls LOVED their time at Shoresh yesterday. [They] talked to me about the forest this morning on our walk to school. They both wished that Shoresh Outdoor School could be every day, all day long! Thank you for putting so much energy into creating and implementing such a wonderful program. WOW!”
-Parent of Shoresh Outdoor School Participants
“[My child] has been loving outdoor school. And it is so exciting to watch how much he has already learned. He told us about how the water in the ravine is going to Lake Ontario (and asked lots of questions about other rivers/ravines and if they are going to Lake Ontario). On a hike this weekend he identified garlic mustard and ate some!”
