If you have ever thought about taking your children or grandchildren on a trip… If you are looking for an educational adventure that will engage both you and your children or grandchildren… Then, this program is for you.

THE YOUNG NATURALIST PROGRAM
This trip is designed for the entire family. Activities including scientific, botanical and arts and crafts projects have been developed for our young naturalists (ages 7–17), and are led by professional children’s educators at scheduled times throughout the trip. All young naturalist projects are designed with the purpose of stimulating curiosity and encouraging an understanding of the history, and rich native traditions of the region. Parents and grandparents can observe and participate in these rewarding activity sessions. Enhancing this rich educational experience for both adults and children are hiking expeditions, horseback riding, and daily discussions. Although young naturalists are supervised during scheduled activities, children are the sole responsibility of parents and grandparents at all times during the trip.
