Right now, the rangers who protect and interpret our national treasures are furloughed during the government shutdown. These dedicated educators are more than stewards of the forest, they’re storytellers, scientists, and mentors who usually spend much of their days inspiring kids.
With their work on pause, Grasshopper is partnering with furloughed National Park Service interpretive rangers from Muir Woods to bring their expertise directly into schools (while also providing them with meaningful, paid teaching opportunities during this difficult time).

Through interactive storytelling and exploration, children will discover the secrets of ancient Coast Redwood trees and the vital role they play in our ecosystem. This adventure nurtures a deeper appreciation for the environment and the stewardship of our treasured national parks. 🌿

What Parents Are Saying

We LOVED everything about Grasshopper! The customer service experience was exceptional! I felt like so much intentionality was taken to ensure that the activity would be both age appropriate and fun for my kids. Our experience leader was so easy going and chatted with the kids during the experience, and really took the time to engage and get to know them. We are definitely going to be using Grasshopper again! Thank you!

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.
