Welcome to
All Together Outdoors
I’m Lu, and I offer joyful, inclusive play classes for young kids + their caregivers and outdoor camps for older kids in Silver Spring, MD. You belong here!
What We Do
In our kid + adult classes, we meet for purposeful play, songs, movement, stories, and nature explorations.
In our camps, we create a safe space where kids can explore, wonder, and take risks! We support them through collaborative problem solving when conflicts arise.
At All Together Outdoors, we build community. We develop our sense of place by learning about the flora and fauna of Sligo Creek. Come join us for a magical outdoor experience!
Reviews
“Bravo, Lu! This is like watching a master class.”
“Lu teaches us to enjoy learning. They encourage kids to explore the activities in their own unique ways.”
“Thank you for creating the environment you create; it is evident that you make space for all people to feel safe.”
“I’ve learned so much already about what to say other than “no” and “be careful” when [my child] is playing outside and with other kids!”
“She loves Teacher Lu! Every morning she asks, ‘Is it nature class today?'”
“This is great. We’re all so much happier outside!”
Classes
Spring Classes
In Spring, we joyfully welcome animals and plants back to Sligo Creek. We explore the wonder of the season and help children and families develop a sense of place!
Summer Classes
In Summer, we explore the creatures and plants of Sligo Creek. We engage in lots of sensory, water-based play while learning how these creatures beat the heat!
Fall Classes
During our Fall Focus season, we learn about animals native to Sligo Creek and develop our own focus skills!
Winter Classes
In Winter, we will dive into our own Resilience! We will learn how the animals of Sligo Creek survive in the cold winter months when food is scarce.
All Together Outdoors in Action!
In order to supplement what we do in our weekly All Together Outdoors sessions, I send videos, pictures, and additional resources so families can continue learning and playing at home!
