Learning Outside

A few summer camp highlights! We are looking forward to more adventures in the coming weeks!

POV: you’re 8 years old and just played an amazing game of Beckon in the woods…now you’re climbing trees and playing in the creek. What could be better?

✨ The art of stopping to take a closer look ✨

We know it well: nature holds so much wonder, and youngsters have so much to wonder about.

Curiosity deepens when children are given the space to observe closely, ask questions, and follow what captures their attention.

Whether it is looking for salamanders in the creek, watching a butterfly drift over the meadow, examining a feather beneath a microscope, or stopping along the trail to study tracks, there are endless opportunities to learn in the natural world.

Sometimes all it takes is slowing down long enough to notice 🦋

🥯 Fundraiser Wednesday at Brandwein’s! 🥯

On Wednesday, May 20th, our friends at Brandwein’s Bagels will be donating a portion of sales to Learning Outside 🌿

It is the perfect excuse to stock up on your favorite bagels while supporting child-led, nature-based learning in our community.

It is also a huge help to Brandwein’s if folks place their orders ahead of time. Online ordering is available through their website, and there is an option to select both the date and time you would like your order ready. Your bagels will be waiting for you at their convenient mobile pick-up station inside the shop.

There really could not be a better time for bagels 😊
