nature connection programs

for ages 4 +

Learn the knowledge of the Naturalist, the skills of the Survivalist, and the attitude of the Caretaker.  By weaving simple, nature-based practices into our daily lives, we can develop powerful connections to nature, ourselves, and each other.

Nestled within Anishinaabe Territory in Northern Michigan, near Traverse City.  Abundant with lakes, rivers,  forest, sand dunes, and vibrant expressions of each season, we are grateful to live, learn, explore and get to know this incredible land and all its many life forms and communities.
A community of staff, students, volunteers, & nature lovers of diverse ages, belief systems, economic statuses and backgrounds,  brought together by the HNS Mission:  To build stronger connections to Nature, Community and Self.
Year-round, nature connection programs for all ages,  have been at the heart of our work for the last decade.   In addition to a continuation of program offerings, we are now expanding to include Regenerative Agriculture as key aspect of bringing our mission and vision into action.
