Fall Registration 2025 – Junior Naturalist 1 & 2 (Ages 7-11)
The best way to teach children to care for the environment is by immersing them in it. In our Junior Naturalists program, kids dive into the wonders of the outdoors through hands-on adventures like hiking, water activities, beginner fire-building, shelter construction, gardening, bird-watching, field journaling, foraging, and more.
We offer two tiers within the program, based on each child’s age, hiking experience, fire safety awareness, plant knowledge, and endurance. All sessions are led by experienced educators who foster curiosity, resilience, and responsibility through deep nature connection.
