Apple Blossom Village creates joy-filled experiences in the outdoors that cultivate deep nature connection and bring wellbeing of mind, body, and spirit.
Apple Blossom Village is a Micro-School offering Earth Conscious Nature School for Preschool through 4th Grade, Thursday Enrichment Class for ages 6 - 12 years, Summer Day Camps, Children’s Birthday Parties and Events, Family Classes, Family Festivals, and Forest School Consultation and Workshops for Parents and Educators.

Land Acknowledgement
Apple Blossom is located in Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota), the traditional homeland of the Ojibwa (Anishinaabe) and the Dakota (Sioux) People. We express gratitude and appreciation for this land, and we honor the Dakota and Ojibwa People as its original protectors.
Our Nature School offers Outdoor Immersion all school year with winterized yurts as classrooms. Apple Blossom is a woman-owned small business with a small operating budget, keeping tuition rates as low as possible. All of our tuition is used towards program expenses. We were awarded an Indigenous Scholarship Fund in 2023. We are working on a fund for general scholarships to benefit People of Color and those with financial need. Apple Blossom is committed to a learning environment of respect, honesty, and inclusion that celebrates differences beginning in Early Childhood. Our vision and purpose promotes the importance of diversity and inclusivity through world language and culture, and an anti-bias curriculum that grows and deepens as the children grow. It is our goal that each child will feel connected to their own culture and traditions, and that all children and families will feel honored and respected. We stand firm in our commitment to offer learning in an atmosphere of love, trust, and respect for all people. Please support our work and help us become more accessible by donating: GO FUND ME
