HOW WE PREPARE OURSELVES TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDHOOD AND NATURE CONNECTION...
As Mothers and in our roles as Facilitators and Mentors of Miami Nature Playscamp, a vital
part of our mission is training and gaining knowledge about the various benefits for children
and young people of growing in direct contact with nature.
In addition to being pioneers in South Florida creating an outdoor learning space, we are also active members of various organizations that are leading the #NatureForAll movement nationwide.
In our state, we are part of a initiative to advocate for the restoration of childhood, same as the promotion and regulation of outdoor learning spaces from our Florida state-chapter, co-chair, founder role under the umbrella of ERAFANS.
