Explore. Discover. Grow Wild.

​

Armadillo Adventurers is Earth Native’s monthly nature immersion program for kids ages 6–12, held on Mondays at beautiful McKinney Falls State Park in Southeast Austin.

​

Each month, children join our skilled instructors to explore creeks, forests, and trails while building skills that spark deep and lasting connections to the natural world. Through hands-on experiences, inspiring stories, and creative play, students awaken their senses, gain confidence, and grow their knowledge of Central Texas plants, animals, and ecosystems.

​

At Earth Native, we teach using an "invisible school" teaching model, a powerful approach to education that places inspiration and curiosity at the heart of learning. We call it “invisible school”—because to kids, it feels like fun, freedom, and adventure - nothing like school. Beneath all that joyful outdoor play and adventure is a carefully crafted curriculum that encourages meaningful growth, knowledge, and a deep connection to wild places.

​

Each class includes a mix of exploration, storytelling, skills practice, and nature play—featuring core routines like:

​

• Edible & Medicinal Plant Knowledge

• Wildlife Tracking

• Knife Safety & Carving

• Bird Language

• Ecology & Nature Awareness

• Wilderness Survival Skills

• Natural Navigation

• Arts & Crafts from Nature’s Materials
  ...and so much more!

​

Let your child’s wild side thrive with Armadillo Adventurers—where every outing is a new adventure, and every adventure brings deeper connection.
