Nature Connection Programs on Cape Ann
Hi Joey,
I love good Morning Gloucester.
I was wondering if you might have interest in posting a story about the nature connection programs Kestrel Educational Adventures has just unveiled.
We’ve always worked with the Cape Ann public schools, getting all the kids out an connecting with their own landscapes.
By popular demand, we are now offering some original programs for individual kids.
All our programs offer kids the opportunity to blend art, science, and authentic immersion in the natural world, without leaving Cape Ann.
Our 8 week program for 4-7 year olds, “Being Animals” invites children to explore a place from the viewpoint of a different animal every week. They learn to walk like the animal, hunt for food and shelter, and interact with other wildlife. At the end of each day of the program, children create a story together about their experiences as animals.
In “Lights, Camera, Nature,” a partnership with the Cape Ann Community Cinema, 8-12 year olds venture into Chebacco Woods with high- zoom cameras and film wildlife drama. Back in the studio, they create and edit short films that tell the story of a specific place. These films will be shown for the public on the big screen.
In “Making Nature Maps,” 8-12 years will explore Magnolia Beach and Coolidge Reservation and create layered maps documenting their discoveries.
All the details on our website, located under the “Our Services” tab.
Thanks for offering a great service to Cape Ann!

Good Morning Gloucester 
Great stuff – I remember the long walks through days woods and to the pits as a young lad…catching frogs and tadpoles in days pond – released them back into pond cause mom did not like them in the house croaking…also toads…The elders had an unwritten rule to scare you from catching them pee cause warts and when you got hold of them guess what yep pee defensive…The great hunt was for the tiger salamanders…stay away from the wasp and yellow jackets too! 🙂
