Our Story
Hi! I'm Chelsea. This is my family.
Discovery Wilderness School began as a dream in my heart in 2017. I was looking for real, meaningful relationships for myself and my girls, deeply rooted in nature. In 2018, we launched our small nature-program, and we've been learning and growing in wonderful ways since then. Its been such a magical experience! I'm so glad you're here.
Welcome!
Location
7255 Pine Island Dr NE, Comstock Park, MI 49321
For the 2026-2027 School Year, we are continuing to rent private, wooded property. We spent summer 2025 working hard to install trail systems and beautiful outdoor classrooms in this space and are grateful to continue to grow here for the 26-27 school year.
In case of inclement weather, we have the option to continue our nature studies indoors to process wild edibles, work on hand craft activities, nature journal, and play sensory awareness games.
Land Acknowledgment
Discovery Wilderness School acknowledges that we gather on the ancestral home of the Anishinaabe Three Fires Confederacy: the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi Nations. We are grateful for the ways these Peoples have cared for the land and honored it across generations. Their teachings continue to guide us, and we strive to follow their example by building meaningful relationships with the natural world, nurturing our community, and engaging in ongoing learning and care for this place.
