The bonfire store is looking fresh with five new designs!
Prepare for the changing seasons by picking up one of these new nature-inspired designs illustrated by local artist Kira Breitlow. Start your mornings right with a new mug, keep yourself warm with a new sweatshirt, show off your love for the nature center with a new t-shirt!
Our online store has everything you need to enjoy the outdoors throughout the changing seasons. Thanks to Bonfire, your awesome ALNC gear is printed for and shipped directly to you!
Pick your favorite design and a portion of your online purchase comes back to us, directly supporting our mission to nurture children, their well-being, and environmental sustainability through connecting and learning in nature. It is a pretty cool thing when shopping empowers children throughout our community.

You never know what might happen in the Play Space

You never know what might happen in the Play Space!
The Polliwogs had a busy day avoiding black holes, making their own paint, and creating their own narratives. The space is full of structures and objects that inspire imaginative play. The Polliwogs, like any other group, take full advantage of the space and let their imaginations run wild.
The round swing became a black hole that no one could escape. The sandpit became quicksand that campers needed to carefully avoid. Baking pans, filled with dirt pies, lay ready to be delivered by wagon. Water and chalk combined made a paint that’s easy to clean, so anyone could start over with a blank slate… And isn’t messing it up half the fun?
What adventure will the Polliwogs go on next?
