Nature School

Our Nature School classes take place in the Oak Hammocks, Pine Flatwoods,

or Mangroves along the intercoastal waterways.

All locations have so much to offer as far as child exploration and sensory options.

All of our classes help guide children to observe nature and make observations.

This helps to develop an appreciation for nature and build stamina in nature.

Each class has a meet up spot near the front of the park location or at a designated pavilion. We will lead a walk to a basecamp. While we are at our basecamp, we will talk about our nature focus, the flora and fauna around us, mindful activities, literacy, and other real-time topics. At the end of each class we will actively explore with a child-led discovery nature walk.

All classes require registration, session fee, material fee, and a class fee.

Class leaders meet weekly or biweekly Mondays through Fridays.
Classes & Events will meet at 10:30 AM (Summer Session classes begin at 10:00AM),
Please bring along water, snacks, a blanket, and bug repellant.
