Houston Family Nature Challenge

Challenge Overview

Looking for meaningful learning activities to build family connections in an outdoor setting during this long summer? We invite you to join the Children’s Environmental Literacy Foundation Houston-based Educator team for a meaningful, fun-filled Family Nature Challenge taking place over 3 weeks in June! The challenges are self-paced and allow for schedule-flexibility for families.

How does the Family Nature Challenge work?

You will receive a challenge each Monday, accompanied by thought-provoking mini-lessons, educational tools to enhance understanding, and Texas-based guest speakers who will share valuable environmental insights for the whole family. We will end each week with a live Show and Tell, structured on building community among families across the Houston-Galveston region!
