Meet Miss. Crystal!

Founder and Environmental Educator

Hello! I’m Ms. Crystal, the founder of Crystal’s Nature School—a program born from my deep passion for art, science, and teaching.

​

As a mother of four amazing children, I’ve created immersive outdoor experiences to nurture my children’s curiosity, confidence, and sense of wonder. I believe that developing a deep connection with the natural world builds lasting confidence, fosters resilience, and cultivates foundational skills that carry over into every aspect of life. My journey has taken me across the U.S., through diverse landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and countless

hiking adventures. These experiences have deepened my love for the outdoors and inspired me to share that joy with others, from my family to yours.

Crystal’s Nature School is a reflection of my lifelong commitment to blending art, science, and nature-based learning in a way that sparks wonder and supports whole-child development. I can't wait to share this journey with you and your family—exploring, creating, and learning together in the great outdoors.

Let’s get muddy, curious, and inspired!
