Feedback form is now closed.
Limited Capacity filling up
One of the unique aspects of family nature programs is the intergenerational engagement. Facilitating age-appropriate (child development, tweens, and parent involvement) play and activities can be a challenge. Participants will gain an understanding of theoretical perspectives and practical applications for engaging children of all ages and parents in the same outdoor experience. Research, perspective, tips, and specific activities will assist you in your adventures to keep parents, children, and teens involved while also improving family relationships, outdoor learning, and teen leadership skills.
