Creative Nature Youth Programs
Creative Nature Club
Ages 6-10
Monthly on Saturdays September-May
9:30am-12:30pm
at the Langlais Art Preserve
What do we notice when we slow down and observe nature closely? How can creative responses to our local ecology help us feel connected to the more-than-human world? Each month at Creative Nature Club, we’ll explore a new ecological theme and make art inspired by our discoveries.
This program is free but registration is required to reserve your child’s spot. Sign up for five or more sessions and get a Creative Nature Club Field Kit!
Creative Nature Summer Camp

Ages 5-7 | August 3-7
Ages 7-10 | August 17-21

Calling all junior adventurers, artists, observers, and problem solvers!
Each week of Creative Nature Summer Camp revolves around an ecological topic, with time spent exploring the preserve, making art, and having fun outdoors. Through creative, hands-on activities, we’ll build a unique understanding of the dynamic factors at play in the natural world around us.
Wonder Walks
Ages 0-5 +caregiver
Weekly on Fridays
June 12-September 4
9am-10am
at the Langlais Art Preserve
Wonder Walks are child-centered meanders through the Langlais Art Preserve. Rain or shine, each walk offers new discoveries as the landscape shifts and evolves over the season. Our staff gently facilitate each walk, creating a safe environment for children and their caregivers to engage with outdoor artworks and trailside wonders. Children may choose to borrow a backpack containing simple tools to help them explore. And as the goal of Wonder Walks is not the destination but the journey, the group dynamic will dictate the distance traveled.
All Wonder Walks are free. Registration encouraged, but drop-ins are more than welcome!
