Life In Motion

In this episode we chat about the world of outdoor education with Laura Stroup, the visionary behind Firefly Nature School nestled in beautiful Missouri. Laura shares her journey from studying animal ecology and natural resource education to her roles at zoos and conservation departments. Her passion for connecting children with nature began during an internship at the zoo, where she witnessed the impact of outdoor education. After years of dreaming and planning, Laura launched Firefly Nature School in 2020. Resting on 20 acres of rolling hills and dense forests, Firefly Nature School is a family affair, with Laura designing lessons, her husband capturing moments through photography, and their children actively testing new curriculum.Whether you're a parent, educator, nature enthusiast or just want to know how these lessons foster curiosity and deepen connections with the natural world, this one's for you!Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.
