Wild Pine Brave and Kind Club is a small group experience designed to help kids feel safe being themselves while learning through animals, nature, and guided activities.
We spend our days outdoors, moving slowly, noticing, creating, and building confidence through connection. Children will be around horses daily, learning how to safely interact, care for, and understand them.
No riding, all connecting.

This experience encourages presence, awareness, and a sense of wonder, alongside daily time with the horses.

A playful and empowering week focused on movement, music, and self-expression. Through rhythm, games, and guided activities, kids are invited to explore their voice and build confidence in their bodies. A musician will join us to bring music and energy into the experience, making it interactive and fun. Time with the horses adds a grounding element, helping kids stay connected as they express themselves.
