Camp Facilitator

Amy Rupp

Amy was a teacher in the Anchorage Public School District for nine year and enjoyed teaching and working with children but longed to provide opportunities for children to experience a deeper connection to nature, themselves, and others. In 2015, she started Nature Song to support this mission and to find other families that wanted to build a community with nature as their anchor. It started out as a nature-based cooperative for toddlers and soon expanded into a drop-off preschool, summer camp and now a variety of opportunities to connect to art, nature, storytelling, play, and community.
