Wilderness Youth Project, (WYP) Storyteller Children’s Center, and The Oaks Parent-Child Workshop invites families in the community to join in a day of nature play, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 at Oak Park in Santa Barbara.
WYP is hosting the free Nature Play Day with activities and facilitated earth-based skills such as fiber arts, fire by friction, and earth paints. The event is open to all ages. The mission of WYP is to foster confidence, health, and a lifelong love of learning for young people and families through active outdoor experiences and mentoring.
WYP takes participants to nature locations such as creeks, beaches, mountain trails, and open spaces in Santa Barbara’s front country. Adventures include child-centered exploration, awareness, and naturalist skill-building. The group uses a nature-based mentoring curriculum that combines experience in nature with a hands-on learning process.
