Fun & Friendship Online & In Your Own Back Yard
Welcome to the Earth's Kids Kid's Club! This page is totally new! Stay tuned for information about the local Santa Clara County chapter, as well as how to start your own Earth's Kids KIDS CLUB chapter where you live. Email us for more info!
The emphasis of the KIDS CLUB is on
connecting kids with positive experiences with nature and wild spaces.
A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that kids who spend more
time in nature are healthier, more mentally focused, and happier! And
we also know that kids who love and value nature are more likely to grow up
to be adults who value and safeguard wild spaces and wild creatures.

Emphasis too is placed on learning and practicing simple ethical behavior: treat others as you would like to be treated; take only pictures, leave only footprints. We also seek to help kids master simple yet useful skills that enhance their feeling of competence and belonging in the outdoors. Participants will discover new dimensions of self through engaging in new experiences, making new friends, and exploring new ways of thinking about their world. This Summer the Santa Clara County chapter meets Wednesday mornings from 10 am to Noon, with special family outings every other Saturday (with times to be announced for Saturday events).
