Join us for a free, hands-on nature journaling workshop with 50 HIKES WITH KIDS: OREGON AND WASHINGTON author Wendy Gorton, where kids will become explorers, scientists, and artists all in one! Each child will receive their very own small nature journal and learn how to capture the wonders of the world around them.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
- See a real completed nature journal and get inspired!
- Take a short nature walk to collect a special artifact (a leaf, a flower, or even a cool rock!).
- Observe and record the weather—sunny, breezy, cloudy? Let’s document it!
- Trace a leaf and discover its unique patterns.
- Sketch a scene from your walk—what do you see, hear, and feel?
- Learn how to keep journaling on future outdoor adventures!
This free workshop will encourage curiosity, creativity, and a deeper connection to nature. Perfect for young adventurers who love exploring the outdoors! Copies of Wendy's book will also be available for purchase to inspire future expeditions.
