What parents are saying…

  • “It is literally impossible for your kid to not be interested. Mine wants to go back.”

    The structure, the learning and inclusivity. Claudine is very patient and has a lot of knowledge in the field and with kids as well.

    Thank you Claudine for making our Sunday morning shiny despite the weather ❤️

  • "I don't think I've ever joined a group and felt immediate support like I did in outdoor creators."

    I just want to say thank you for offering such an affordable class that pushed me to get outside with my kids and get reacquainted with nature. It was such an amazing experience for everyone in the family.

    -Romina, mom of 1

  • "I enjoyed the hikes and learning lots of new info about nature..."

    My daughter enjoyed the walks and finding worms/bugs. She also loved the painting/making the sun dial. I enjoyed the hikes and learning lots of new info about nature like the wild grapevine having water, the poison ivy and how to be better prepared for the outdoors.

    -Jenna, mom of 3

  • "Time spent with Claudine and her class outdoors is always time well spent."

    “I enjoyed not only Claudine's knowledge of nature, but her willingness and keenness to share that knowledge with everyone in a way that is enjoyable.”

    -Lindsay, mom of 1
