The CIRCLE membership community is designed to meet you where you are, even if you haven’t started your outdoor classroom yet. Our Membership Roadmap begins with our Outdoor Teaching Bootcamp which introduces the 5 Phases of Teaching Outdoors. The Bootcamp also includes many of our assessment tools which act as a guide in knowing exactly what outdoor teaching phase you’ll be starting in. The CIRCLE has no beginning and no end; therefore, as educators, we will be constantly evolving within each of the Outdoor Teaching phases.

Absolutely – The CIRCLE covers every stage of planning, creating, and growing your Outdoor Classroom – from the very start where you just have a “seed” of an idea and nothing more. In fact, now is the perfect time for you to join The CIRCLE; as not only do we have trainings that will take you through every step, but you’ll also be able to get support and advice from within the community too, to help you through your journey.

Assuming you want to keep growing your Outdoor Classroom then The CIRCLE can help you with fine-tuning your 5 Phases for Teaching Outdoors: Infrastructure, Get Outdoors, Teaching & Learning Outdoors, Weather, and Sustainability; as well as supporting you with working towards your future goals. This is certainly not a “beginner only” community – far from it! We’ve helped educators from all over the world grow their Teaching Gardens, so there’s plenty of expertise to offer that you’re sure to benefit from in your continued growth. Plus it’s more fun to do this work in a community of like-minded educators!

BOTH! You get access to everything already inside The CIRCLE straight away! No waiting for content to be released to you, just jump in and start making use of the Outdoor Teaching Bootcamp, entire nature-based workshop and master class library straight away. Each month, you will receive a NEW Member Mission and Links to two LIVE Sessions. All LIVE Sessions are recorded.

Enrollment for The CIRCLE membership community is open. You will receive your enrollment confirmation within 30 minutes. The dates and links for the monthly LIVE Sessions are sent to you in our weekly CIRCLE News. A schedule is available in the membership portal. Otherwise, you have full access to the membership 24/7.

You will get out of this membership what you put into it. You do you. Some days you may have an hour, some days you may have 10 minutes, and others you may have no time at all. You might have a crazy-busy day and not get to any of it. Nobody’s keeping track of how much time you’re in the private portal. If you are pressed for time, my recommendation is to show up for the scheduled LIVE sessions when you can, check in with the private Facebook community, and set goals for the rest. The best part of the membership is the community and as long as you’re a member, you have access to all our resources!

You are free to cancel your membership at any time, and you will retain access to the membership until your current payment period is complete.

While there is no financial penalty for canceling, we do not provide refunds nor do we prorate any uncompleted time in the program. You must cancel at least 3 business days before your auto payment is charged, or you will be charged for an additional month of the program. Please note: Once you cancel your membership, the price of the membership may increase over time. You will not be able to rejoin the program at your previous Member Rate.

While we encourage you to attend the LIVE sessions when your schedule allows, live attendance is not a requirement for success in our membership. Each live session will be recorded, and the recordings will be posted in the course portal by 5 pm the following business day.

YES! We have educators in all phases of their outdoor teaching journey. They include, authors, Ph.D students, researchers, and leaders in the field. As a community of like-minded educators, we believe by working together we can help change the face of education for children.
