The Critter Club is designed for curious kids ages 4–6 who are ready to explore nature in a group setting.

This is a 2-hour drop-off experience, but parents are always welcome to stay and observe quietly if it helps their child feel comfortable.

ABSOLUTELY! There is always risk playing outside as anywhere else. Maggie is Wild Med CPR and Wilderness First Aid Certified. Our First Aid kit is always near by.

PLAY CLOTHES! Ones you wont be upset if they get dirty.

This also depends on the weather! If its raining a raincoat and rainboots! Your child will 100% come home wet on rainy days.

If its snowing, a base layer (always recommend wool) and a shell coat, gloves, hat etc.

If its hot, I only ask that children wear close toed shoes- they can bring sandals to go home in.

A change of clothes is always a good idea.

Exploring is about moving, and while we stay in the same area. If the kids decide to turn the nearby park into a mud kitchen we will move over there. This is a very child led nature based club.

A full water bottle & Change of clothes!

We play in most weather — rain, shine, snow, or wind! The only exceptions are extreme weather (thunderstorms, high winds, or unsafe temperatures). In those cases, you’ll receive a text or email with updates.

We follow a child-led approach, which might include:

Bug hunting and bird watching

Mud play and potion-making

Nature walks and scavenger hunts

Learning to identify critters, tracks, and plants

We ask that parents apply sunscreen before arrival. For bug spray, we have a waiver form — we’ll only apply it if we have your permission or if you provide your own.
