FAMILY NATURE EXPLORERS
All ages with parent
Have you ever stood with your child under a majestic tree and admired its beauty? Have you and your

experiences like these help children build lasting connections to the natural world and to the adults with
whom they share these adventures. Come join the fun of these outdoor adventures. The GOAL is to

outdoors.
Why? Research shows that children benefit greatly from connecting with nature.
