About Outdoor Exploration
Our goal is to get kids and families outside together to promote:
-
lifelong love of the outdoors
-
appreciation and familiarity of nature and the world around us
-
comfortability and confidence in being outdoors
-
sense of ownership and responsibility in stewardship
And we'll do that through specific events/resources in these program areas:
-
Nature study (botany, geology, geography, meteorology, astronomy)
-
Outdoor skills (orienteering, knots, camping, cooking, firebuilding, first aid, etc.)
-
Parent support/education (book club, gear library, parent how-to events
-
Restoration work and land stewardship (planting, weeding, cataloging, serving)
Program Director
Hi! I'm Jen St.Clair, and my family and I have been members of Blackhawk since 2021. We boomeranged back to the Midwest after a decade in California, and we are loving Wisconsin life. I live in Fitchburg with my husband Luke, our three daughters Leah, RoryKate & Violet and our pup Henry. I love love love hiking (especially the Ice Age Trail!) and I am so hopeful to be a PCT thru-hiker one day. You can follow our family adventures at https://www.instagram.com/jenstc
