HAND IN HAND NATURE EXPLORATIONS
Hikes and story time for you and your little one on IslandWood’s Bainbridge Island campus
Hikes and story time for you and your little one on IslandWood’s Bainbridge Island campus
Parents and caregivers are the key to establishing a child’s early love of nature. Designed for 3 and 4-year-olds, our new Hand in Hand Nature Explorations series creates opportunities for little ones and their parents, grandparents, or caregivers to spend one-on-one time exploring, discovering, and making memories together.
Each week’s sessions are designed around a fun and seasonal theme, and include a short hike, story time, and activity or craft. (And, of course, an IslandWood cookie or two!) Each themed session is offered on Tuesday mornings. Register for just one session, or join us for the whole series!
Please reach out to Mary Meier at marym@islandwood.org with any questions.
These sessions will be offered on Tuesday mornings from 9:00 – 10:30AM, and will run from the week of February 2nd to the week of March 2nd.
To ensure the health and safety of our guests and staff, there will be a maximum of 11 families per session—22 adults and children in total. The one-to-one parent to child ratio will help us ensure safe social distancing. We ask that all guests wear masks and complete a health attestation form upon arrival.
Each session is $10, and includes story time, a short hike, and an activity or craft.
This program is designed for preschool age children and their caregiver. Please reach out to joanh@islandwood.org if you have specific questions about accommodating your household.
We work to ensure that all reasonable accommodations are in place so that everyone can fully participate and learn during their time on our campus. All indoor spaces and many of our outdoor spaces and field structures were built and are continually maintained to meet ADA code, adhering to WAC 51-50. Learn more about the physical accessibility of our campus here.
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
