Our facilitator and our volunteers are passionate about children and the natural world. We believe in engaging children’s imagination, modeling a sense of awe for the natural world, and using experience as the basis for learning. Simple activities linked with unstructured play can teach many valuable academic and social skills, like cooperation, communication, and leadership.
