Nature Explorers


Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) / Special Classes and Family Events -
Summer 2026

Playing outside promotes curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Studies have found that children who spent more time in nature exploration had improved learning outcomes. Come join us to learn together outdoors at Belwin at the Hilltop Classroom Trails! Each session will begin with a land acknowledgment and a nature-themed story that will guide our time together. There will be a combination of guided exploration and open-ended nature play. We will meet rain or shine, and it is held fully outdoors. Our program can lend you outdoor gear during the class if needed or desired.
