Imagine...

We raised our children deeply connected to nature alongside parents, caregivers, Elders, and community members who uphold the same commitment to environmentally-minded values.

We shared our skills, knowledge, and ideas with one another for the betterment of our community. 

We supported one another in untangling from the fast-paced and consumer-centric aspects of current society and focused instead on sustainable practices and community building.

Mission 

Bluestone Village is a co-op of Earth stewards committed to raising families in deep connection with nature, each other, and our Place.



Rooted in nature-based learning for families, we aim to revitalize the innate human connection to nature through youth programming, community building, and sustainable living practices. We believe that fostering environmentally-minded families takes a village.

Vision

Gardening Together
Bluestone Village is an invitation for families and community members
to gather, connect, and belong. 

We are part of an interconnected world moving further and further from connection. Bluestone Village brings like-minded people together; weaving community building, Earth and sustainable living skills, and nature-based education into their everyday lives. With our roots in nature-based play and learning, we believe that children thrive when a conscious community of trusted adults support their growth and foster a life-long love of learning. We equally believe that it takes a village to raise a family and adults deserve kinship and a shoulder to lean on. 

Let's cultivate an ecology of care, hold each other in our vulnerabilities and successes, learn from our Place, raise wild children, and welcome everyone as they are. And let's do it all outside. 

Bluestone Village is a membership-based organization with levels of engagement for every family's needs and interests.

What do we do?
Youth Programming

Every child has the right to learn in, with, and about nature. We believe that nature is the ideal learning environment for children, and that children will show us what drives their passion for learning when given the chance. To honor the innate childhood (and human!) connection with nature, we Bluestone Nature Programs for Village members and the public

Family & Community

Raising a family in the digital age is challenging and complicated. Many of us lack the village we yearn for, the village that will support and uplift us. Bluestone Village offers a safe and inclusive space for families to gather, learn, and connect. Parent circles, conscious parenting workshops, seasonal family celebrations, and open nature play days bring our community together in nature.

Bluestone Village plays and learns on the unceded land of our Host Nation peoples, the Munsee Lenape and Mohican. We offer deep condolences to the past, present, and future Indigenous peoples who experienced harm at the hands of colonizers and for the systemic racism they still experience today. We promise to do our best as allies and support our Host Nation and all Indigenous peoples with our actions. We recognize this statement is just the first step and commit ourselves to continue to grow and work towards reparations and healing.
