Connecting With the Nature of Play

We connect children and their caregivers to the nature of play.

We invite young children and their caregivers to explore and learn outside through a variety of play-based, open-ended, nature activities. We provide opportunities for young children and their caregivers to connect with nature, engage their curiosity, and enjoy playing and learning outside!

Our Mission

Our mission is to connect all children to the lifelong benefits of play and nature-based learning. Our goal is to increase access to learning activities that are meaningful, developmentally appropriate, designed to promote whole-child growth, and centered in nature and play.
