“In nature, children learn to take risks, overcome fears, make new friends, regulate emotions, and create imaginary worlds.” ​

Since I was young I’ve always had a passion for working and being involved with children. With my diploma in child and youth care, I’ve had so many opportunities to work closely with children. When I had my own kids, it became important to me that they spent their childhood outside and grew to be passionate about nature. 

 

My favourite book has been Balanced and Barefoot by Angela J. Hanscom and I truly believe every person involved with children should give this book a read!

​

I am so excited to give children the opportunity to explore the outdoors at their own pace and be free to just PLAY! 

I am a certified teacher in Alberta and have spent the last 14 years teaching some extraordinary children. I have had a passion for the outdoors since I can remember and have spent almost every summer of my life exploring beautiful Kananaskis Country, appreciating wildlife and respecting what our natural world has to offer us. 

 

Richelle and I are so lucky to have the same passion for letting children explore the world in a way that makes sense to them. I have a strong belief that children are capable, intelligent and naturally curious learners. I love all things messy, muddy and dirty! I’m so excited to share this adventure with your children.
