Instead of a hike with a destination to reach, Certified Forest & Nature Therapy Guide Jess Thenhaus will lead you through simple sensory invitations that help both children and adults slow their pace, direct their attention toward the natural world, and experience the park in a different way.
For kids, the morning offers space for curiosity, sensory exploration, and focused attention through simple guided invitations in nature. For adults, it offers a chance to step out of the usual planning and supervising mode, slow down themselves, and participate alongside their child instead of managing the experience from the sidelines.
And perhaps most importantly, families get to practice slowing down with one another. In a world where both kids and adults are constantly pulled toward schedules, screens, and stimulation, this is a few hours set aside to notice, explore, connect, and simply spend time together outside.

This is a shared family event, not a drop-off program or childcare service.
Parents and caregivers remain responsible for their children throughout the entire experience. Adults should stay with their children, help them navigate the environment, and support them in participating in ways that feel appropriate for their family.
