Active Clusters:

• Monday Meetings (all ages) - A whimsical, co-lead, multidisciplinary adventure (we are going for a “Magic School Bus” vibe). for kids and adults alike. Come as you are and learn what you need. We use the Navigators Badge book and Curiosity Untamed to select badges to inspire our adventures.  We complete badges over 2-3 meetings.

• Navigators in Nature (all ages) - A monthly Forest School but Navigators 357 style! Using the “WILD Passport” curriculum as a guide, we will explore and investigate nature and the outdoors together while developing new skills in 5 different focus areas: Woodcraft, Shelter, Fire, Nature, and Rope. Progress in learning will be acknowledged through earning badges.

• Park Explorers (all ages) - Each week we meet-up to explore a different park (mostly around Monroe County). Those who participate in Navigators in Nature may have the opportunity to practice skills learned. Other activities may include: free play, playground exploring, pop-up D&D style games, hiking, creek exploration, etc. 

• Field Trips (all ages) - Examples of past field trips: Penn Dixie Fossil Park, Apple Picking, Tour of Ganondagan, Hang-out at Pawsitive Cat Cafe
