Young Writers in Nature

Research shows that the developing brain needs active exploration to access the world of senses, which encodes the love of learning, a natural curiosity, and excitement for discovery. Young Writers in Nature will provide an opportunity for students to satisfy their innate curiosity by learning how the world works through the exploration of our natural world.
