The Santa Cruz Kids in Nature Program is an outdoor-based Nature Club for young children. We are a grass-roots program focused on fostering creativity, confidence, communication skills, community, ecological stewardship, curiosity, and social justice ethics and advocacy in the students. Our core curriculums revolve around Social Emotional Learning, Natural History, and Cultural History/Social Justice.
Common activities include: hiking, improv games, watercoloring, harvesting wild clay and making pottery, learning to identify wild plants and medicines, playing games, practicing storytelling, gathering seeds, developing deep relationships, learning local history, and more!
The After-School groups take place over the course of the school year and run outside of school hours.
Summer Camps run 9 - 2:30 M-F and feature themes such as Shelter Building, Birding, Medicine Making, Fermenting, Bookmaking, Coastal Restoration and Exploration, and more!
It is our priority to be accessible to all who are interested, so please inquire about our * equal access scholarships.*
Santa Cruz KIN was founded in 2013 and has been serving the community for 11 years. We look forward to having you join the family!
