Facilitated By: Tandy Morton & Nadine Reeves
We will gather as a group to walk through the beautiful Westminster ponds while discussing how we can notice seasonal changes outdoors with children, conversations we can have with them, how we can draw connections, activity ideas, and respond to challenges getting colleagues to join us.
Tandy Morton has worked in outdoor education and risky or adventurous play environments since 2004, including acting as a facilitator for Childreach's Wild Child Outdoor Playgroup since 2017. In that time she has supported children as young as infants as well as parents and grandparents in their journey to spend more time outside with greater confidence. Tandy truly believes that everyone can enjoy time outside in nature, and is passionate about helping individuals take the next step in their outdoor living adventures.
Nadine Reeves (she/her) is the Program Manager at Childreach overseeing playgroups, parent education, and family support. Nadine has been a part of the Administration Team at Childreach since 2003 dabbling in everything from communications and fundraising to board governance. In 2015, she helped kickstart the WILD CHILD playgroups and day camp, and she fell immediately in love with all things outdoor play and learning. She firmly believes that to get children outside, you need to get parents outside to love and see the value of the outdoors themselves. Using her skills in communications and marketing, she has used social media to reduce the barriers to getting children outside to play. Nadine is currently completing the Early Childhood Education program at Fanshawe College. When Nadine is not working or studying, she is happiest spending time in nature (of course!) and knitting woolly sweaters.
