How well do you know your own backyard? In this class, we will connect with nature on a deeper level by getting to know our wild neighbors: the animals and plants of our region through games and activities that engage our natural curiosity and inspiration.
Explore Nature with experienced mentors who teach important skills as well as guide kids deeper into their natural connection.
Follow a curriculum based on the seasons and what the land inspires.

A typical day is from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and includes gratitude, games, snack, stories, activity/lesson, lunch, exploring, and themed activities for the day (such as locating animal tracks, exploring field guides, or learning about local birds), and closing circle with a few stories from the day.
We facilitate an environment of mutual respect, fun, and camaraderie among the kids. Learning takes place through inspiration and curiosity.
Ages: 7 - 12 years old
*Ask us if you have an active 5 or 6 yr old. We value low mentor-participant ratios & a smaller group size to foster quality mentoring |
"I LOVE Robin and Katie as nature mentors, both as a parent and for my son. They are both so peaceful, fun, and so full of appreciation of life that the class and kids just flow. The skills for identifying things in nature, nature games that serve many many roles, and hand work that builds fine motor skills were skillfully woven into the day, drawing kids in and playfully teaching about life around us. I wish they had classes for parents too....... they have so much information to offer and are a joy to be around." - Claire, Los Gatos CA
