We’re excited to showcase Empowered by Nature, PlayMakers Club in our member spotlight this week. They are a local organization dedicated to creating meaningful, play-based learning experiences where children can explore, grow, and thrive.
Empowered by Nature offers a range of programs designed to support children at different stages, including early learning, school-age care, camps, and enrichment programs that focus on creativity, movement, social development, and connection to nature. Their approach is all about learning through play in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment.
Their newly renovated space is something truly special, now featuring a vibrant jungle gym designed to inspire imagination, encourage active play, and bring even more joy to their daily programs. It’s a space built with kids in mind, where learning and fun come together naturally. As they continue to grow and welcome new families, we encourage you to follow along for their monthly program & event calendar for upcoming opportunities to register.

She’s seen the impact these journeys have — helping youth build resilience, confidence & lifelong skills 💪🌿

Now YOUR youth can experience it too — thanks to a fully funded Outward Bound expedition! 🎒

📣 This is an incredible chance to grow, connect, and adventure — all at no cost to families.

What a beautiful day we had at ECOPlay on Friday!

☀️ The sun was shining, and our crew had a blast exploring the playground, spotting signs of spring, and noticing all the new colors popping up in the forest. 🌺

We had some new friends join us this week — it was so special to welcome new kiddos into our group!

We’d love to welcome your little explorers too!

We meet every Friday and are an inclusive, low-demand group where kids can explore, connect, and play in ways that feel safe and comfortable for them.
Supported by kind leaders and understanding peers, it’s a space where everyone can just be themselves.

Highlights this week included:
🌈 Playing with the parachute
🦎 Searching for salamanders
👀 Using our eyes to spot signs of spring
🎨 Making the park colorful with chalk!
