WHO WE ARE
---------------
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, consent, and social justice ethics and advocacy in the students. Our core curriculums revolve around Social Emotional Learning, Natural History, and Cultural History/Social Justice.
The group takes place over the course of the school year and runs outside of school hours - making it a great activity for public school students.
It is our priority to be accessible to all who are interested, so please inquire about our * equal access scholarships.*
