$NATURE \u201cCAMP\u201d (ages 1-7 with adult): Tinkergarten Forest Class$

The TINKERGARTEN national curriculum (Tinkergarten.com) is designed for ages 1-7. Older children take on leadership roles and adore the little explorers. The littles look up to older explorers and follow their lead. It works. Beautifully.

Outdoors is the classroom.

We have no walls.

Creatures are our teachers; Mud and sticks are our tools.

EVERY LESSON CONNECTS US TO NATURE!

“Invitations to play” ~ Each lesson is engineered to engage kids in play that they simply can’t refuse!

Kids learn best when they lead the way.

Child led; We help grownups support their child.

For families with young kids spending purposeful time outside is more important than ever. To thrive in this dynamic world children need outdoor play experiences that deliver the hands-on lessons valuable social interactions and restorative activity that can’t be gained from the tap of a screen. As parents it’s our job to ensure they engage in these experiences early and often. But how?

While finding ways to create enriching outdoor moments is essential it isn’t always easy. Getting outside might be a simple first step but for a lot of us knowing what to do next—and how to make it count— just doesn’t come naturally.

We’ve been there. That’s why you need Tinkergarten!

Tinkergarten helps families get outside to make the most of their kids’ early learning years. Designed by education experts and loved by all families our play-based outdoor curriculum guides parents in raising healthy confident and capable kids.

Tinkergarten. Your guide to purposeful outdoor play.

From 2500 Shore Drive turn onto Cypress Swamp Drive toward the forested side (NOT the beach side) of First Landing State Park. Go through the ranger’s ticketing kiosk. Pay entrance fee or show your annual park pass. Make an IMMEDIATE right turn as soon as you pass the kiosk (20 feet at most). You’ll see a large parking lot. Drive in a bit and look to your right. You’ll see us. “NATURE PLAY IN PROGRESS!”
