In March of 2024, CFIN celebrated its 10th Anniversary! See photos from the past 10 years of CFIN outings below. As we reflect on the successes of the past 10 years and feedback from alumni members, we are preparing to add ways that families can engage with CFIN. Here's what is on the horizon: Beginning in the summer of 2024, we are expanding our programming in order to offer participants a wider range of ways to engage with a Community of Families in Nature. Learn more about our expanded offerings by clicking on the 'About a Community of Families in Nature' button below. We look forward to spending the next 10 years playing, exploring, learning, and care-taking in nature with a new generation of CFIN families, as well as with CFIN alumni families!

We looked for signs of spring as the season emerged. Members have engaged in some playful movement in nature, planted a total of 34 native plants at two locations in Columbia, done a stream clean up, created some beautiful pressed flower in clay art, explored beloved spaces and planted seeds at Freetown Farm, hiked to Wilde Lake from our Adopt-a-Spot, enjoyed free play time in nature, and so much more! Our Hike-a-Month Club has enjoyed hikes from our Adopt-a-Spot to Wilde Lake in Columbia and the rewarding challenge of the Cascade Falls Loop Trail in Patapsco State Park. Spring Members and Community Members recently gathered for our Camping Celebration Event where we helped families of all camping experience levels mentally prepare for camping trips as a family! We were so happy to collaborate with our wonderful partners at Community Gear Closet for this event! Did you know they lend camping gear, a great way to try out camping as a family without making a big investment; click the button below for more info on borrowing gear from them! Registration for our Seedlings (infant, toddler, and pre-schoolers with a caregiver) Summer mini-mester, our Summer Family Membership season, Summer Art and Farm Workshops, and our Hike-a-Month Club are all open, click the links below.
