Together in the Park

Together in the Park is a nature program designed for children, ages 2-8, and their caregivers to get outside to play and find community. Our nature programs take place year-round in area parks and green spaces, and offer a variety of invitations to play designed to spark wonder and curiosity and enhance relationships with the natural world.

Our 2025 Spring Together in the Park season is inspired by the FOOTSTEPS OF SPRING. Each gathering will explore a new sign of spring (such as plant growth, rain, and baby animals) through hands on sensory play. We can't wait to celebrate all of the signs of spring with your family!

Class Structure

Our classes are based on child-led play and value the process of wonder and experimentation over a final product. Each nature play session follows a predictable rhythm, while introducing a new theme of the week. Every class begins with a gathering activity, followed by story-time and a mini-hike to our finding spot where we discover the tools for our main activity. Nearby is a nature table extension for further exploration on the day’s theme. We end class with nature journaling and a closing circle.

For every activity, while there is a play theme in mind, the children are encouraged to turn it into their own and play in any way. We work hard to make each class hit on as many different sensory processes as we can so that every child’s developmental needs are met.
