The idea for a nature academy was partially inspired by the need for some hands on resources for learning about nature that incorporated being in nature while learning about this fascinating world we live in, in a way that is fun and relatable for kids and their learning partners!

Each unit is designed to take about 45 minutes one day a week as a base minimum but you can expand that to 30 minutes twice or three times a week.

Each unit contains material that you can skip or stretch depending on the needs of your learner and the dynamic of your family, but there are a lot of extras included to dive deeper. We have laid out beautiful activity suggestions, wondering questions and opportunities to pursue your own learning paths. You and your child(ren) or students can learn about Nature study and really start to study the beautiful outside world while taking a stroll through nature, reading some beautiful books that are perfect for an outdoor class or a day in nature! You won’t find every answer to every question here, but rather an abundant buffet of knowledge and inspiration to follow your own rabbit trails.

Each week we've included a guided nature reflection, and a nature journal prompt which are the basis for the Nature Academy Units. Additionally we have included hands-on activities, vocabulary sheets, handwriting pages, letter pages and so much more. You can choose to use what works for your family.

This curriculum is designed for a family style setting with a range of ages so there are portions that fit kids of all abilities.

This curriculum covers the items we are likely to find out in nature in the Southeast United States where we live, but it can be used anywhere.
