Nature Summer Camps

EXPERIENCE

The Nature Summer Camps invites adults to take a week off to explore their surroundings and learn more about the natural world around them.

The Nature Summer Camps reinforce our mission of connecting curious minds and creating lifelong learning possibilities by making opportunities for adults to spend time learning in and from their environment.

With all of the fun and games of a school-age nature summer program, The Nature Summer Camps covers subjects like botany and astronomy geared towards adults. Activities include star-gazing, tree and plant identification, and collaborative group challenges.

Most nature-based summer camps are restricted to school-age children. On the other hand, many adult summer camps favor vacation over education. The Nature Summer Camps brings the best of both worlds together, giving adults a week to live with the curiosity of a child again.

Puzzle Playground and Obstacle Course

EXPERIENCE

The Puzzle Playground and Obstacle Course gives children opportunities to explore topics like physics in a collaborative environment.

The Puzzle Playground/Obstacle Course reinforces our mission of connecting curious minds and creating lifelong learning possibilities by constructing a playground for children and adults with life size engineering puzzles and various obstacle courses.

The Puzzle Playground and Obstacle Course is a permanent open-air environment that has various physics puzzles and a children-friendly obstacle course. Physics puzzles could include constructing levers to move pieces, or using weights to move a pulley system.

Traditional ropes courses often require specialized training. Obstacle races are typically short-lived events. Common public playgrounds have a set of climbing sections with slides that are often restricted to children. The Puzzle Playground and Obstacle Course is a permanent environment that easy to understand, interact with and navigate, even on a person’s first visit. The environment is built to encourage engagement from children as well as adults.

Subscription Box Challenges

PRODUCT

The monthly Subscription Box Challenges contains everything needed for groups to explore and answer a challenging research question.

The Subscription Box Challenges reinforce our mission of connecting curious minds and creating lifelong learning possibilities by setting up an engaging group learning experience so that friends and families can grow their knowledge together.

Similar to Hunt-a-Killer, the Subscription Box Challenges contains an assortment of artifacts and documents used to solve a mystery. From mad science  to historical fiction, the Subscription Box offers a variety of topics for groups to explore. While the artifacts feel genuine, the question is rooted in fiction that is explained in the box. Using a fictional topic ensures that no group will receive box with a research question to which they already know the answer.

While other educational boxes are generally focused in on one niche subject (i.e. technology, archeology, murder mysteries), The Subscription Box explores a variety of subjects. One box may be using physics to solve a puzzle, another might include research to solve a historical mystery. The changing subjects encourages players to build and use different learning styles and skills.
