Brittany
Brittany is a mom, occasional teacher, musician, and lover of all things outdoors!
​
Her passion for working with children stems from her many years as a camp counsellor in her youth. In the past ten years, she has enjoyed the juggling act of supply teaching for two school boards while embracing her role as mother to four little ones.
​
Brittany rediscovered her love of the outdoors through exploring with her own children. This inspired her and her sister to start a Farm & Forest school, which cemented her belief that there are no learning experiences more beautiful than the ones that happen through music and nature.
Kayla
Kayla is a mom, nature lover, and performer who’s happiest exploring the outdoors with her two young daughters.

Born and raised in Woodstock, Ontario, Kayla spent her childhood dancing, performing at the Little Theatre, and working toward her Grade 8 vocal certification with The Royal Conservatory of Music.

She went on to graduate from Sheridan College with a degree in Musical Theatre and spent over a decade performing across Canada. Some of her favourite experiences were multiple seasons at the Stratford, Shaw, and Charlottetown Festival.
​
These days, Kayla is passionate about spending time in nature and sharing her love of music with little ones. She’s deeply inspired by the way children learn through play, curiosity, and song, and believes some of the most meaningful lessons happen in community with others under open skies.
