Big Changes are coming our way
Roots is building a new home!
For the past 9 years, Roots has used Ponderosa State Park’s Activity Center as our base of operations. The Park now needs this space for their own staff. As a result, we’re embarking on an ambitious mission: to build a new facility for our staff and students that is designed to fit our needs. We are excited to have the opportunity to custom-create a space to use as an office and meeting area, indoor classroom and storage. Our new home will be in Ponderosa State Park, located a short distance from the Roots Wall Tent.
Join us in this journey as we embark on building a dedicated facility to accommodate the growing demand for our program and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for our staff and students.
Help us reach our goal!
Together, let’s pave the way to empower life-long learners
“I founded Roots Forest School in 2015 out of a desire to connect young families during McCall’s long and sometimes isolating winters. Seeing a need for early-childhood education opportunities in our rural community, Roots expanded to preschool to provide a hands-on, play-based learning environment that would also foster a deep connection among children to our beautiful landscape. Roots has grown beyond my wildest dreams in the past 6 years thanks to the support of passionate families and community members.”
