“Part of the lure of keeping a journal is the world you enter when you open it. Working in it sets up an island of quiet and deliberateness to which you will long to return.”
—Hannah Hinchman
Nature Journaling Club is one of the very first environmental education programs I began teaching. Our family began homeschooling in 2011 and nature journaling was something we incorporated into all of our outdoor adventures. In 2014 I decided to begin a club in Atlanta, GA to inspire more families to get into nature journaling. It was one of my most successful clubs and there were some meetings where I had over 40 kids in attendance.
ECO Nature Journal Club will meet once a month and is for families with children of all ages. Adults are encouraged to participate in the journaling activities as well.
Each month we will do a hands on nature journaling/observation activity. These activities will build foundational journaling skills and get participants excited to keep journaling. Activities will also introduce techniques that participants can include in their journaling. In addition participants will also learn some basic drawing skills (each month we will show you how to draw a plant, animal, landscape, etc). We will also learn a few fun facts!
This club is a fun, family-friendly way to develop a closer connection with nature, build a community and a support system around sketching outdoors, introduce people to natural areas, inspire sharing of ideas and resources, and promote stewardship. This club will be a relaxed setting where participates will be encouraged to explore the natural world as they learn to make observations, ask questions and make connections.
*Drawing is not required...if you or your child prefers to write and/or take photos that is also an option for keeping a nature journal.
We are working on setting up Fall 2023 dates. You can register for all of them or just a few.
