The Best Place To Grow Your Best Self
Play, Learn, and Grow at Our Nature Play Site
Let Your Kids Experience the Great Outdoors With Us
Camp Kawnipi, an outdoor nature play area in Blue Grass, Iowa; promotes physical, social and cognitive growth. Children develop their adventurous spirits, foster curiosity, explore, expand, create and engage all their senses. We offer experiences in nature that combine the richness of one’s imagination, manageable risks, independence and endless play, essential for the development of happy, healthy children who become productive, responsible adults.
Learning Through Outdoor Play at our TimberNook Partner Location!
Children have more opportunities than ever before to connect, yet, in many ways they are becoming more disconnected. Unrestricted, active outdoor play is an often missing, yet an essential, ingredient that connects kid to each other, to their larger community, and most importantly to themselves. Nature allows children to create, imagine, develop resilience, evaluate and take risks, as well as develop emotional maturity.
Creating Memories, Restoring Bonds
Opportunities for children to build friendships, develop social-emotional and executive function skills, create memories, and simply enjoy childhood have decreased dramatically. Our programming occurs in the great outdoors, offering generous open spaces to explore, engage and create. In a time when we often hear “No”, we are here to say “YES”, because access to nature promotes wellness.
Help Your Child Become Stronger and More Confident
If you believe that your child deserves more: more time for play, more time for creativity, more time for positive social interaction, more time for childhood, more time to engage and not watch…. Then it is time you explore programs and opportunities at Camp Kawnipi.
