The Ohmapi Nature Project
Students Learn Through Nature.
Ohmapi is a unique educational program where students spend their days immersed in nature. Core academics and specialty subjects are woven seamlessly into outdoor studies, creating a holistic, experiential approach to learning. Families can choose from three year-round options: a 3-day Academic Nature Program, a 2-day Specialty Subject Program, or a 5-day Academic + Specialty Subject Program.

Nature is the Norm
By spending frequent and ample time in nature, children attune to the rhythms of the natural world. This connection helps them intuitively apply nature-based understanding to the world around them.
Low Student to Instructor Ratio
With a 10:1 student-to-instructor ratio, Ohmapi fosters meaningful relationships and creates bonds that make true learning possible.

Student-Parent Testimonies:
“My nine year old daughter entered The Ohmapi Nature Project last year and even though the World was in crisis-mode, one would have never known about the fares of the Globe once they stepped foot into the "classroom" that Dawn created.
Dawn and Macy made 2021 a Joyous and memorable year for not only my daughter, but for me as well. As a parent, it was comforting to know that my child would be held in a sacred space which would encourage: optimal learning, self-respect and respect of others, creative imaginative play, and a strong synergistic holistic approach to education.
Dawn's well thought out curriculum, detailed teaching skills, as well as her positive, confidence building mentorship style, allowed my daughter to blossom during a time when it was most needed.
Dawn and Macy made such an impact in Kaila's life. She left Ohmapi Nature Project a more confident, assertive, appreciative and balanced human with a deep reverence for all living things and a new found Love for Math!
I highly recommend this school. Dawn's guidance and genuine presence fosters an environment for students to be their Best Selves."
