What happens in case of rain?
We monitor the weather closely. If heavy rain is forecasted, we will cancel the activity and offer a full refund. If there is light, intermittent rain during our activity, we will notify you the day before, so you can bring a raincoat. We’ll move the activity to a covered area in the park and create an indoor game, and if the rain stops, we’ll return to the outdoors to continue our adventure.

Why Choose Creative Nature NYC?
At Creative Nature NYC, we view children as natural researchers and inventors. Our curriculum is designed to co-create with the children, drawing from their questions, interests, and imaginative ideas. We focus on blending art, science, and ecology, allowing children to explore and experiment while cultivating critical thinking. Through the exploration of nature and recycled materials, children will ask important questions about their relationship with the world and how we can protect it.
Our teachers, with backgrounds in visual arts and ecology, are passionate about guiding young artists in exploring the interconnections between nature and creativity. We encourage expression through the "hundred languages" children use—drawing, sculpting, painting, movement, rhythm, and words.
Let's Ask Big Questions:
How can art help us understand ecology? How do we bridge the gap between humans and the natural world? At Creative Nature NYC, we believe that by experiencing the beauty and wonder of nature, children will develop a deep sense of responsibility for its preservation.
Join us this summer for a transformative, artistic exploration of Grover Cleveland Playground’s biodiversity, and watch your child grow into a curious, eco-conscious creator!
