Nature School at our Conservation Areas
Nature School is being offered once again at our Conservation Areas this spring and registration is now open. Register your kids to learn and grow in nature through play and exploration!
Every trip to Nature School will be its own adventure. Each visit starts with a grounding in the surroundings and a reminder of nature awareness routines and best practices for spending time outside. There will be planned options for activities but what actually happens will be child-directed and depend on the day. This may include songs, stories, play, exploration, journaling, sit spots, shelter building, hiking, using tools and more! At the end of each visit, we will gather again to share reflections and plan for the next outing.
