Outdoor Adventures for the Whole Family
OUR GOAL:

Nature Deficit Disorder:
“The human costs of alienation from nature, among them: diminished use of the senses, attention difficulties, & higher rates of physical & mental illness”
Richard Louv
Last Child in the Woods
Today it is a real challenge to get our kids out into nature and even harder to help them build a deep connection. We are not able to let our kids roam and explore the way parents did in the past. Exposure to nature today is generally limited to trails and public beaches. Kids are not given the opportunity to interact with nature or slow down and look curiously upon the wild things that are right in their backyard.
We hope that our classes and camps can be a part of your families journey to a closer connection to nature.
