Nature Club

Just Add Nature

We are a group of families who meet regularly to allow our children to explore nature and the outdoors together. We are inspired by and in awe of nature and want our children to learn to love and appreciate the wonder that is our world.

Children of all ages are welcome. We have runners, walkers, and riders (backpacks/slings/sometimes carried but unfortunately not strollers) and would love for you to join us. We visit both state and county parks in Montgomery, Bucks, and Lehigh Counties. In the future, we are planning a visit to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary during the fall migration and may tackle a small portion of the Appalachian Trail. We have also planned a camping trip for early fall.

We will likely continue meeting through the late fall and winter. Additionally, we may add other fun outdoor activities to our schedule, if there is an interest. For more information, please email outdoorswithkids@gmail.com.

"If you go with long-term significance, my pick for the top story of not only 2009 but also of the 21st Century is the pandemic of Nature Deficit Disorder, a term so aptly coined by Richard Louv in his best-selling outdoor book, Last Child in the Woods...."
— Bill Schneider, NewWest.Net
“Concerns about long-term consequences—affecting emotional well-being, physical health, learning abilities, environmental consciousness—have spawned a national movement to ‘leave no child inside.’ In recent months, it has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grassroots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a ‘green hour’ in each day.”
— Washington Post, June 2007
“The movement to reconnect children to the natural world has arisen quickly, spontaneously, and across the usual social, political, and economic dividing lines.”
— Orion magazine, March/April 2007
