A lifelong love of nature starts here

Nature is calling! We hope you're planning lots of outdoor fun for yourself and your favorite explorers this summer (if you want some inspiration, check out what we have planned for our donation-based Community Programs for adults and all ages).

Before you fling your arms wide and run headlong into a field, lake, or trail, don't forget to get the younger set signed up for our fall programs!

  • Neighborhood Nature, our K-5 after school program, is now open for all three sessions: Fall, Winter and Spring. Choose the days and locations that work best for you. Just make sure you register ASAP, especially for Fall.

  • Nature Preschool also has openings! Our 2022-23 pilot was a joyous success, and we would be thrilled to welcome your little adventurer (age 3-5) to join us for the 2023-24 year.

  • Explorers Club also has openings. This monthly, weekend program takes all of the naturalist knowledge, social-emotional exploration, and community-building that make up all of our programs, and builds depth year by year. Youth can sign up at any grade level (2nd-12th) to join a small group of peers who they stay with throughout the program. The deadline to submit your interest form is July 31st.

Important: Scholarships for program fees, and free loaner clothing/gear are available for all of these programs!

We’re hiring - and looking for volunteers too!

As Sammy transitions to her new role as Executive Director, we're looking to fill her previous role of Program Director. Priority deadline for applications is June 12th.

We also have openings for summer camp volunteers! If you have some weekday time available, enjoy working with kids, and want to learn and play with us outside, submit your Volunteer Interest Form ASAP. Our next volunteer orientation session is June 17th.
