About

Our Mission:

The Mission of Humble Oak Outdoor Learning & Arts Collective is to provide a space where individuals of all ages may practice working in good relationship with the natural world, as well as deepen their understanding and knowledge of themselves and their interconnectedness with the surrounding community.

Our Vision: 

It is our hope to offer an environment for all children and adults where they can feel connected to each other, themselves, and the surrounding community and land.  Through direct interactions with plants and animals, a wide exposure to craft and skill, and a deepened engagement with beauty, wonder, and awe, we invite a sense of imagination, responsibility, and joy.  Through active engagement in an Asset Framing mindset, we will strive to always see each individual’s best light and approach our work with humility, respect, and care.
