This boutique, nature-based outdoor education program serves children ages 2 to 10 in Utah, in a highly desirable location in Northern Utah, in operation approximately 5 years. It delivers hands-on outdoor learning, including hiking, nature exploration, creative workshops, and structured outdoor play, through a small team of four part-time W-2 staff, with very low turnover and a strong payment-collection track record: approximately five non-payment instances across five years of operation. Tuition is tiered by weekly attendance, from 2 to 5 days per week, with a lower per-day rate at higher attendance levels.
The business operates without a leased or owned facility, running instead through paid partnerships with local pools, recreation centers, and parks. The primary hard asset is a paid-off van valued at approximately $37,000, and the business carries no debt.
Revenue is prepaid and recurring. Families enroll in a 41-week primary program plus a distinct 9- to 11-week summer intensive, billed 4 to 5 weeks in advance, non-refundable. The 2026 summer intensive sold out at 15 seats across 11 weeks entirely through returning families, with a documented waitlist of 15 additional new families representing an estimated $74,250 in unmet demand.
Trailing twelve-month revenue is $260,018, with seller's discretionary earnings of $193,523. Revenue has grown approximately 23 to 25 percent year over year, including a 20 percent price increase the market fully absorbed with minimal attrition. No single customer represents more than 10 percent of revenue. Offered at $690,000, pre-qualified for SBA 7(a) financing.
The business is intentionally structured as an alternative outdoor-education program rather than a licensed childcare facility, a deliberate and defensible regulatory posture that removes a significant layer of facility and licensing overhead. Beyond the core service area, the business has attracted organic interest from families in adjacent, affluent markets, pointing to a credible path toward a second location or expanded service area. A buyer who formalizes management by promoting an existing team lead into a manager role could pursue a more passive ownership structure with meaningful upside. A signed Non-Disclosure Agreement is required before detailed financial and operating information is shared.
