A nature-based early learning program serving children and families in Marin County, CA.
Join us as we explore, together in nature.
At Snails & Turkey Tails, we understand that children learn best when they can move, explore, create, and engage all of their senses. Outdoor environments naturally support this kind of learning, helping children build strong cognitive, social, and emotional foundations in ways that feel meaningful, joyful, and deeply connected to the world around them.
Outdoors, children experience the joy of climbing, digging, splashing, discovering, and following their curiosity wherever it leads. Every stick becomes a tool, every trail an adventure, and every muddy puddle an invitation to explore. Through these shared moments, children build confidence, creativity, communication skills, and a strong sense of connection to the world around them—all while simply enjoying the magic of being outside.
Play is an essential part of how children come to understand themselves, others, and their world. We believe open-ended outdoor play nurtures curiosity, creativity, confidence, and connection, while laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
At Snails & Turkey Tails childhood is treasured, learning comes to life, and each day is filled with discovery, creativity, and growth in the natural world.
"Liesha exuded such positive and exploratory energy that our kids felt it through beautiful osmosis! From climbing trees to collecting artifacts in nature, this camp gave our kids such valuable lessons which they continue to take forward with them as their curiosity grows. We look forward to signing up again next summer!"
