This year has been filled with muddy boots, curious questions, tiny discoveries, new friendships, and so much joyful learning in nature through our StormHawks Preschool partnership. From exploring trails and spotting wildlife to creating, imagining, and growing together outdoors, these children reminded us every day of the wonder that can be found outside!

Thank you to our incredible partners at Community Education of Eastern Carver County Schools and families for making this community so special.

Here’s to a year of adventure, growth, and unforgettable memories in nature. 💚
