ABOUT:
Our story:
The Nature Connection Club started from a mom’s heart.
Nature has always been my happy place—the place where I feel most like myself. It’s where I feel free, grounded, curious, and completely at home.
When my boys were babies, I started a little mom-and-me group in 2020 that met at local parks. At the time, I was simply looking for a way to get out of the house, meet other moms, and give my kids a chance to play and be around other children.
But somewhere along the way, I realized something bigger.
Nature was giving all of us something we needed.
As a young mom, I needed connection too. I needed other parents to talk to, laugh with, and share those everyday moments of raising little ones. And I wanted my children to grow up surrounded by the outdoors—to have places where they could run, explore, get messy, be curious, and simply be themselves.
I wanted them to know that feeling I had always found in nature:
freedom. belonging.
Those little meetups grew, my children grew, and my love for sharing the outdoors with others only grew stronger.
Eventually, that passion became The Nature Connection Club.
Today, my goal is still rooted in what I wanted for my own children from the very beginning: to create opportunities for people to get outside, connect with nature, connect with each other, and experience the freedom of simply being outdoors.
Because I don't believe nature is something you have to be taught how to experience.
It's something you get to discover your own way.
And sometimes, all it takes is a mom who says,
“Come outside. Let's see what we find.”
I strongly believe
Nature Is for Everyone.
What do you see when you step outside?
Maybe you see a trail waiting to be explored.
A bird you can't identify.
A perfect climbing tree.
A mushroom hiding under the leaves.
A place to slow down.
A place to play.
A place to wonder.
A bench to quietly sit.
At The Nature Connection Club, we believe there is no right way to experience nature.
Nature is for the curious, the adventurous, the little explorers, the lifelong learners, the families, the friends, the community—and everyone in between.
The Nature Connection Club began with one passionate mama who wanted her two boys to grow up knowing the outdoors as a place to explore, wonder, get messy, and simply be themselves.
That passion grew into becoming a nature educator and creating outdoor experiences for others.
Today, Miss Kyla is still out on the trails Monday through Friday—discovering hidden gems, following curiosity, and finding new ways to help people connect with the natural world.
And now, The Nature Connection Club is for all ages.
See Nature From YOUR Point of View.
You don't have to be a nature expert.
You don't have to know the name of every bird, tree, or flower.
You don't even have to know what you're looking for.
You just have to step outside.
Maybe your adventure looks like a child turning over logs looking for bugs.
Maybe it's a family discovering a trail together.
Maybe it's a guided hike where you notice things you would have walked right past.
Maybe it's a hands-on experience where you can touch, investigate, create, and discover.
Maybe it's simply having someone show you a place you never knew existed.
There is no age limit on curiosity.
From day one to age 200, there's always something new to discover.
What can we do together?

☀️ Outdoor Experiences for All Ages
Because getting outside shouldn't have an age limit.
Your adventure doesn't have to look like anyone else's.
You might come to learn something.
You might come to play.
You might come to unplug.
You might come because your kids need to burn some energy.
You might come because you've lived here your whole life and still want to discover somewhere new.
Or maybe you just need a reason to get outside.
Whatever brings you here, there's room for you on the trail.
This isn't about teaching you how to experience nature.
It's about helping you discover YOUR way to connect with it.
So…what do YOU see?
Let's get outside and find out.

Founder, The Nature Connection Club

You choose how you want to connect with Nature!
Every adventure is a little different, because nature decides what happens next. 🌿
When you join, you can expect:
🌲 A place to explore
Local trails, woods, wetlands, beaches, fields, and hidden gems around the South Shore.
🥾 Guided outdoor adventures
I’ll lead the way, share what I notice, and help you discover things you might otherwise walk right past.
🔎 Hands-on discovery
Depending on the adventure, we might search for wildlife, investigate tracks, collect natural treasures, explore with tools, climb, create, wander, or simply slow down and look around.
🎒 Nature tools & gear
Some adventures include my Mobile Trail Kit filled with tools and supplies to help us investigate, discover, and play.
✨ Room to follow curiosity
There’s no script for every adventure. We leave room for unexpected discoveries and let the people joining us help shape the experience.
💚 Connection
Connection to nature, to each other, and to the place we're exploring.
📸 Memories to take home
Stories, discoveries, muddy shoes, maybe a new favorite trail—and hopefully something you'll be talking about long after the adventure ends.
Most importantly...
You don't need to know anything about nature before you come.
You just need to show up, get outside, and be willing to see where the adventure takes you.
