a life where your kids are confident, happy, & healthy from spending more time outside.
where they look at trees instead of screens & they gain an understanding of our worldly rhythms.
a place where kids of all ages can be themselves & gather to learn & encourage each other without the pressure of schedules & tests!
What is Barefoot University?
Our communities meet each week for forest school activities and nature exploration that align with our yearly Rhythm. Our weekly activities teach nature-based sciences and outdoor skills. Our focus may be nature, but activities expand to cover art, citizenship, local history, math, science, life skills, physical education, critical thinking, and more! Our communities also do field trips and community service projects throughout the year that often align with our activity themes.
Leaders help facilitate the meet-ups, but parents are their child‘s teachers! It’s important for parents to know what the activity is beforehand in case your children need additional instructions or you want to take the activity deeper.
If you’re looking for a group that makes everyone sit in a circle and learn a lesson, BU may not be for you. We encourage participation, but we also encourage free play and exploration!
David was nominated by his leaders for being a Barefooter that is dedicated. A Barefooter who is a servant and a leader! Way to go David!
Here’s what his leaders said about him, “David shows up week after week with a cheerful spirit and a heart ready to help. Whether he's leading hikes alongside families or pitching in behind the scenes, his positive attitude never goes unnoticed. Just recently, David volunteered at two separate BU community service events in the same week, talk about dedication! We’re so grateful for his steady presence and servant heart. Thank you, David, for being such a vital part of our Southlake, TX community!”
We couldn’t be more excited to nominate him as Barefooter of the Month. Your Southlake, TX group is more positive and safe having you as part of their community!
