 Nature Class Descriptions

Learn & Play Tampa Bay

Nature School
Our Nature School classes take place in the Oak Hammocks, Pine Flatwoods,

or Mangroves along the intercoastal waterways. 

​

All locations have so much to offer as far as child exploration and sensory options. 

All of our classes help guide children to observe nature and make observations.

This helps to develop an appreciation for nature and build stamina in nature.

​

Each class has a meet up spot near the front of the park location or at a designated pavilion. We will lead a walk to a basecamp.  While we are at our basecamp, we will talk about our nature focus, the flora and fauna around us, mindful activities, literacy, and other real-time topics. At the end of each class we will actively explore with a child-led discovery nature walk. 
 

All classes require online registration form, session fee per family and a class fee per child. You may opt to register for the session and provide a single class fee per child for each class you are available to attend. 

 

Class leaders meet biweekly in Fall & Spring

Summer session meet weekly.


Classes & Events will meet at 10:30 AM (Summer 2026 9:30 AM),
Please bring along water, snacks, a blanket, and bug repellant.

 

"Tiny & Tall Naturalists" is a class open for mixed ages (2-12) of children as we will learn about real life Naturalists and how to be one! Mixing in literacy, a nature lesson, active explorations, and a discovery nature walk to deepen our knowledge of the flora and fauna of each location.

For Advanced learners, We will learn how to do different knot skills, learn about how to identify plants, and how to keep a nature journal to record what we discover on a nature walk.
