LWeek 3 ended with a bang! 💥 We tested our courage high in the trees and on the rocks, got our feet wet catching crawfish and minnows, and even learned a thing or two about the circle of life. 🌿🦞🪨 #SummerCampAdventures #Week3Wonders #BraveAndCurious #naturepreschool #outdoorlearning #playbasedlearning #natureplay #forestschool #childhoodunplugged #hoursoutside #outdoorclassroom #ecoschools #sustainableeducation #environmentaleducation #greenschool #educationforsustainability #outdooreducation #natureschooling

Creativity isn’t just about making things — it’s about believing in yourself. 🌿

Research shows that children with high creative self-efficacy—the belief that they can create, solve problems, and express ideas—are better able to handle stress and feel more confident about their futures than those who lack this skill (Kiewra & Veselack, 2016).

In a world that often pushes outcomes over imagination, we protect space for creativity.

We invite children to invent, build, test, revise, and dream. Because when they trust their ideas, they learn to trust themselves. Confidence, resilience, and self-expression all start here.

Swipe right to explore why creative self-efficacy matters—now more than ever. ➡️

Nature is the third teacher! #forestschool #outdoorlearningactivity #childledlearningthroughplay #outdoorlearningenvironment #playoutsideeveryday #playbasedlearning #playbasedlearning #outdoorlearning #forestschoolstraining #natureaddict #naturebasedlearning #childrenoutdoors

Watching children observe the world around them—tracking a trail of ants, sketching wildflowers, or listening to birdsong—reminds us that nature is the best classroom. 📓✨
With every note and drawing in their nature journals, they’re not just recording what they see—they’re sharpening focus, building curiosity, and learning how to truly notice. 🐛🍃
Hands-on, heart-full learning starts here. 💚 #NatureJournaling #OutdoorLearning #KidsInNature #CuriosityDriven #NatureIsSchool
