NATURE “CAMP” (ages 1-7 with adult): Tinkergarten Forest Class

The TINKERGARTEN national curriculum (Tinkergarten.com) is designed for ages 1-7. Older children take on leadership roles, and adore the little explorers. The littles look up to older explorers and follow their lead. It works. Beautifully.

Monday through Thursday (4-day week), each morning 9:30 am – 12:30-ish pm, at First Landing State Park for explorers 1 year old to 7 years old with an adult. Siblings under 1 year old may attend for free.

Dates: JUNE Session (4 days) = Mon June 3, Tues, June 4, Wed June 5, Thurs June 6.

DESCRIPTION:

Depart each day from REI (Town Center) at 9:30 am and RIDE ON The Nature Bus to First Landing State Park for wonderful nature adventures! This family-friendly 4-day session is perfect for children and families who love the outdoors. COME PLAY OUTSIDE TOGETHER! Make some new nature-loving friends. If you prefer not to ride the bus, feel free to meet us at class!

*A must see: Check out our reels on instagram! You will definitely want to join us. Don’t see the older explorers in the reels? Don’t worry. This camp is perfect for all explorers 1-7 years old. The camp curriculum is designed to interest all.

Outdoors is the classroom.

We have no walls.

Creatures are our teachers; Mud and sticks are our tools.

EVERY LESSON CONNECTS US TO NATURE!

“Invitations to play” ~ Each lesson is engineered to engage kids in play that they simply can’t refuse!

Kids learn best when they lead the way.

Child led; We help grownups support their child.

For families with young kids, spending purposeful time outside is more important than ever. To thrive in this dynamic world, children need outdoor play experiences that deliver the hands-on lessons, valuable social interactions, and restorative activity that can’t be gained from the tap of a screen. As parents, it’s our job to ensure they engage in these experiences early and often. But how?

While finding ways to create enriching outdoor moments is essential, it isn’t always easy. Getting outside might be a simple first step, but for a lot of us, knowing what to do next—and how to make it count— just doesn’t come naturally.

We’ve been there. That’s why you need Tinkergarten!

Tinkergarten helps families get outside to make the most of their kids’ early learning years. Designed by education experts and loved by all families, our play-based outdoor curriculum guides parents in raising healthy, confident, and capable kids.

Tinkergarten. Your guide to purposeful outdoor play.
