About US
Nature's Backpack

Nature kits provide hands-on outdoor experiences that connect to natural world and teach stewardship in their own backyards.
Weekday Programs
We offer nature awareness weekday programs for children ages 3-16. Spending most of our days outdoors in the forest, fields and meadows, where the children are guided by skilled and trained mentors who understand the importance of play, child directed and emergent learning.
