The school pickup plan will depend on who wants to sign up. Please email Zac at info@taprootnatureexperience.org and let us know if you’re interested.

We will pick up children at some schools, and kids from other schools can be delivered to us. The day ends at 6 p.m. at Upper City Park in Iowa City. If we don’t do a pick-up at your child’s school, you can bring your child to Taproot by arrangement.

Destinations and activities will depend on the weather and other variables, but will always include playing, exploring, visiting, learning, and growing in an atmosphere of friendship and nature.

NOTE: There is no Taproot ASP on Iowa City no-school days; however, we do offer Taproot All-Day Programs on most Iowa City no-school days!
