Hello!

My name is Colleen.

I am the proud mom of two adventurous boys, and your explorer's nature guide! My passion for the natural world drives me to ensure that children experience the wonders of nature, rain or shine. I believe in giving children the time and space to simply “be” in nature, allowing them to explore the world around them and discover the natural learning that takes place in these moments.

I am a Certified Cedarsong Way teacher, which enhances my ability to guide children in outdoor education. My love for animals often finds its way into our explorations, fostering a sense of curiosity and respect for all living creatures.

One of my main focuses is on children’s social-emotional development. I aim to create an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and free to express themselves. I hold a CPR/first aid certification, and I have my food handler’s card, ensuring that safety and well-being are always a top priority.

I am excited to share my love for nature with the young explorers at Eagle Creek Explorers, helping them grow, learn, and thrive in the natural world.

I believe that spending extended time in nature has a positive impact on children's mental and physical health, and I am excited to bring a nature-based program to our community.
