Brooklyn Trails

Discover Brooklyn Trails, an outdoor arts program nestled in the heart of Prospect Park. At Brooklyn Trails, children embark on an extraordinary journey of self-expression and exploration. With open-ended art materials and nature as their canvas, they engage in playful art making, while also learning the importance of nature stewardship and building a vibrant community. Brooklyn Trails classes create a sanctuary of learning, where children feel empowered to push boundaries, ask questions, and let their imaginations soar. With each step, they develop creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and the confidence to color outside the lines! All activities promote social-emotional learning while fostering autonomy, self-reliance, collaboration, and healthy conflict resolution skills. Respecting the rights of all children to be informed, consulted, involved, and empowered in decision-making within their co-learning environment is strongly emphasized in all Brooklyn Trails programming. With the wonders of nature as their backdrop, Brooklyn Trails classes nurture the whole child—socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Your child will develop a deep love for the natural world, unlock their creative potential, and awaken an insatiable curiosity for the world around them.
