Explore nature and the outdoors through curiosity and play with St. Clement’s Island Museum. Modeled loosely after Forest School learning styles in Denmark and Sweden, our Nature & Forest Play for All Ages encourages exploring nature through hands-on, tactile, “no right or wrong way to play” experiences. Age is not a factor, adults need to connect with nature in relaxing, simple ways, just as much as children do. So come; look under a rock, build a fort with us, or listen to a story while you craft a stick gnome. Nature is calling you.
Most events will have natural play items available for babies and younger children, and shelter/knot tying survival materials for older children and even adults to practice and play with. Additional activities are subject to change.
Events will be outside, rain or shine, unless otherwise noted. Please dress yourself and your little ones appropriately.

Explore nature and the outdoors through curiosity and play with St. Clement’s Island Museum. Modeled loosely after Forest School learning styles in Denmark and Sweden, our Nature & Forest Play for All Ages encourages exploring nature through hands-on, tactile, “no right or wrong way to play” experiences. Age is not a factor, adults need to connect with nature in relaxing, simple ways, just as much as children do. So come; look under a rock, build a fort with us, or listen to a story while you craft a stick gnome. Nature is calling you.
Most events will have natural play items available for babies and younger children, and shelter/knot tying survival materials for older children and even adults to practice and play with. Additional activities are subject to change.
Events will be outside, rain or shine, unless otherwise noted. Please dress yourself and your little ones appropriately.
