Welcome to Nature NB’s NatureKids program! This program involves various daycares, after school programs and clubs across the province who are participating in monthly, age appropriate (ages 5-10), and seasonally relevant activity suggestions prepared by Nature NB. Activity suggestions are sent out at the beginning of each month along with any special materials needed. However, if a group wants to lead an activity that varies from the one sent by Nature NB, that’s ok too! The intention is really for each group to lead a nature related activity once a month that helps kids explore the natural world, instill a sense of wonder and encourage an active role in nature conservation!
There is also an ongoing leaderboard, tracking each group’s participation in the monthly events. At the end of the year, each group will receive a certificate of participation and be entered in a draw for a grand prize. Check out the leaderboard below to see how each participating group is doing!
