Saturday, Nov.  15 1-2:30pm - Session 3 Clothing & Gear Confidence

Percy Warner Park

This class is designed to empower adults and kids to feel more comfortable and confident spending time outside. If you dream of spending time in the woods but aren’t sure what plants to avoid, what to do if you see a snake, or what clothes will keep you and your family comfortable - this class is for you! 

Through guided walks, gentle exploration, stories, mindful observation, nature journaling and simple hands-on activities, adults and children alike will deepen their connection and awareness of the natural world.

This class takes place over three sessions, but can each be enjoyed individually. See details for each class in chronological order

Ticket price is for 1 adult and 1 child, additional family members can be added for $20 apiece.

Session 3 will focus on dressing appropriately for the weather so that families can feel prepared and excited to be outdoors in any season. In this class we will cover:

• how to dress for different weather conditions using the layering system (children will get to practice building a “stay warm” outfit from a gear table and test how different materials handle water)

• choosing the right footwear

• keeping kids warm and dry in the cold

• tips for staying comfortable in rain, snow, heat and wind

• how to pack lightweight “just in case gear” for spontaneous adventures

• budget-friendly gear choices

• safe weather limits
