About 
Our Program:
Kids Nature Adventures is all about bringing children and nature together. Every day is spent entirely outside enjoying loosely-structured explorations and play in the spectacular open spaces of the Bay Area. The children's own interests, discoveries and observations guide our daily explorations, rather than any predetermined activity outlines, providing unlimited opportunities for fun, adventure and learning. Whether the kids are making up games, catching butterflies or building a fort in the woods, playing freely allows them to make up their own rules, dream up their own stories and experiments, and come to their own conclusions - all at their own pace. We do follow general themes each day and have activities planned, but each day's activities remain flexible to allow for the ever-changing delights and surprises of nature. Our role is to gently facilitate the process, to ensure safety, and to provide guidance and information as needed.Our Groups:
We have three groups based on grade level. All of our groups are small and explore many of the same places, but hikes and activities for each group are designed to be age appropriate.

Banana Slugs (entering K- 1st) - Hikes and activities are
designed with the younger campers in mind. The day is slower paced and structured activities are
balanced with plenty of imaginative playtime and rest periods built into the day.
Newts (entering 2nd - 3rd) - While there is still plenty of time for imaginative exploration and play the day includes more challenging hikes and activities. It is perfect for those who are ready for a little more adventure.
Blue Belly Lizards (entering 3rd - 5th) - New destinations, even more challenging hikes and we begin to introduce new activities such as: fly-fishing, tracking, bouldering, geocaching, and more. Expect your child to be tired and dirty, but ecstatic from the woods and the wild.

Where We Go:
We explore the amazing natural open spaces north and south of the Golden Gate. They include beaches, tide pools, wetlands, forests, lakes, creeks and meadows. There are so many amazing places to visit in the Bay Area that the hardest thing to do each day is decide which one to explore. Just a few of the places we visit include:
Marin Headlands Mt. Tamalpais Stinson Beach Rodeo Beach & Lagoon China Camp S.P. Muir Woods
Samuel P. Taylor S.P. Tennessee Valley Muir Beach Bolinas Lagoon Sweeney Ridge Angel Island
