Backyard Ecology Kit

The backyard ecology kit contains camping essentials for up to 3 kids and everything you and your family need to discover nature in your own backyard, including real animal artifacts, scientific tools, insect nets, seed growing kits, ID guides, bird feeder kit, and a polaroid camera and nature journal to document your findings.

Nature Art Kit

Nature art is more than using nature as your subject, it’s about using nature as your medium. The nature art kit contains camping essentials for up to 3 kids, art materials, inspiration books, a flower press, tools for specimen collection and observation, natural materials, and a rock polisher. 

Ultimate Campfire Kit

Anyone who’s sat around a campfire knows that the flickering flames can provide endless joy, and our ultimate campfire kit takes this to the next level. The kit contains camping essentials for up to 3 kids, fire starters and instructions for multiple methods, a book of campfire stories, s’mores fixings, camp meals and mess kits, a water pail for proper dousing, magic pinecones, local firewood, and a guide to campfire games.

Here’s how you can gear up easily with Camping Kit rentals, and benefit WinterKids:
