Welcome to Bins & Bogs Friends in the Field

Join us on an exciting journey as we explore the beauty of nature and learn together in our co-op. We are creating an outdoor community inspired by the curiosity and play of our two little explorers; Bins & Bogs (nicknames of Brinley and Logan)!

This is a family-centered group where kids learn by doing: playing outdoors, discovering animals, and building friendships, while parents connect and support one another.

Explore Together

Slow down with your kids and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with them.  These activities will include nature walks, outdoor play, and simple discovery adventures for all ages; whether it's spotting wildlife, collective treasures, or just breathing in the fresh air with everyone.

Learn & Create

Hands on learning sparks the curiosity and creativity in kids.  We can explore different hands on projects from gardening and nature crafts to simple science experiments and outdoor skills.  These encourage their problem solving, working as a team, and imagination!

Adventure Days

There will be room for bigger outings that bring families together and create memorable experiences.  From visiting different farms and wildlife centers to exploring seasonal festivals, these days offer opportunities to connect with an even bigger community while having fun!

We would love for you to join us as we explore, learn, and grow together.  Our hope is to build a strong, supportive village where families can thrive.  If this sounds like the right fit for you, please reach out! We'd love to answer any questions you may have!
