Is your child new to the nature experience? Are you concerned about "Nature Deficit Disorder" and too much screen time? Take a break and learn how to experience the nature trail not as a spectator or disruptor, but as a careful, curious participant* while engaging in imaginative nature play. Your guide will introduce children to private trails used exclusively by The Nature Objective while you follow (the first time). Children explore freely and safely while parents relax, exhale, and get familiar with the property. 

Early Spring is the best time to book your On The Path experience but anytime February through June will be great. After you've completed this 2 Hours On the Path introduction, come back again for 3 Hours OFF the Path which will prepare your child to enroll in our other nature programs like our very popular Wilderness Camp.

REGISTER NOW!

On the Path is an introductory experience offered exclusively to limited age groups at predetermined times. Spots are limited. Fully paid, advanced reservations required. If your goal is to book future, private Off The Path programs for an all day group, and none of these dates work for you, you may request specific, alternate dates for your group's intro.  

The private nature preserve is never open to the public and visitors are only allowed when scheduled in advance in order to avoid trespassing. All visits must be fully supervised by trained personnel the entire time and visitors must agree to the rules of the property, including the NDA regarding the private location (for the safety of the animals, children, property owners and visitors) and a Hold Harmless waiver. Geo-tagged photos are not allowed. (Please only take photos in airplane mode with your location service disabled.)

Participants must drive themselves to the property, and provide their own water bottles and insect repellent, etc. for both On The Path and Off The Path programs.
