Upcoming sessions
At Nature Explorers we intentionally keep our camp sizes small (only 12 kids and 2 excellent adult teachers) in order to ensure that everyone has a great experience in the forest and that everyone’s voice is heard, no matter how quiet! Activities range from group challenges and games to building forest huts to catching (and releasing) creek critters, nature art and journaling, storytelling, bushcraft, and much more.
