The natural world is filled with mystery and beauty. One can spend a lifetime exploring any one of its many secrets. The SUMMER OUTDOOR LEARNING ADVENTURE will kindle interest and spark curiosity about the natural world in which we live. Each one-week session will offer age-appropriate activities in outdoor living skills, ecology, plants and wildlife. Each day will be an exciting blend of fun and learning taught through games, crafts, hikes, and hands-on discoveries.

Discover ways to get a closer look at wild things. Playful activities focus on developing a connection with nature through expanding a sensory awareness of the environment. A focus on nature discovery keeps young minds growing and learning while encouraging a comfort in and love of the outdoors. A portion of each day is devoted to unstructured play in the forest. Research shows this fosters creative thinking and problem solving.
