All parties will include a short "opening circle" with a special Nature Connect birthday song.
Options for the remainder of the party include:
GAMES
Nature Connect games are all about fun, but are also great tools for expanding awareness and learning about local species. Kid favorites include "Shapeshifter", "Cougar Stalks Deer" and "Wildlife is Watching."
EXPLORATION
Go on a wander with the group and follow curiosities to discover plants, animal tracks, and maybe even handle some wildlife!
CRAFTS
A great option for staying closer to base is a nature craft. Crafts may include pine cone art, suncatchers, basket twining, and more.
SKILLS
Older children especially may enjoy a demo in fire by friction, shelter building or wood carving followed by the chance to practice these skills on their own.
