The NatureSmart Family program is NOT…
• Formal education! No classrooms, no lessons, no tests, no TAKS or TEKS! It IS fun, outdoor, nature activities for the whole family.
• Difficult! It IS a way for CAMNers to share their passion for nature in informal conversations with families. CAMNers who volunteer do not need any kind of formal teacher training.
• Someone else’s program! It IS our very own program. We started it, we received a grant to do it, and we’re making it happen. Its success depends on the broad-based participation of our membership.
• A one-time event! It IS a series of four, seasonal events: Insect Safari and Native Plants in the fall, Fur and Feathers in the winter, Hill Country Habitat in the spring, and Water Discovery in the summer.
