Kids Nature Journaling

Student Experiences

Curriculum-connected nature journaling experiences that inspire curiosity, inquiry, and meaningful learning.

Every child is naturally curious. My experiences invite students to slow down, observe closely, ask thoughtful questions, and make meaningful connections with the natural world through nature journaling. Using words, pictures, and numbers, students develop observation skills, communicate their thinking, and discover that learning can happen anywhere. Every experience is hands-on, curriculum-connected, and thoughtfully adapted to the age, interests, and needs of your learners.

And So Much More!

Aria (Grade 3)

"I liked the Nature Journaling Workshop because I got to participate in conversation about things in nature. We were really calm and quiet which allowed me to see a lot of animals like bluejays and woodpeckers. Billie Jo was really nice and funny. I really liked drawing and writing about my object."

Ricalisa (Gr. 3)

"I liked journaling, it was really calming. I liked that we didn’t have to do the same thing as everyone else, we get to all be different."

Kian (Kindergarten)

"I liked looking at the leaves and touching the leaves because it reminded me of my

fishing and camping trips. Kian Kindergarten."

Pine & Ponder Outdoors is located on Treaty 19, also known as the Ajetance Treaty, named after a Chief of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This area, now known as Orangeville, Ontario is the Headwaters of the Credit River, known in Anishinaabemowin as the Missinnihe, or “Trusting River.” This land is home to many Indigenous peoples, including the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Wendat, Petun, Inuit, and Métis. We feel incredibly grateful to observe, learn, be curious, and spend time on this land, and we honour the ongoing relationships and stewardship Indigenous peoples hold with it.
