“Each chapter begins with a fun, educational story. Following the story there is a section with activities at three different levels…The activities that follow each story create an opportunity for broader learning, and expanding horizons through imagination and problem solving. There is even space for drawing in each section when needed…
The Kamana for Kids books are an excellent tool to start children learning about the natural world and all of the wonders therein. Stress is placed upon the importance of broadening your knowledge and continuing to learn in every new situation you encounter.”
–Jessica Lane, Northwest Baby & Child, October 2007

Kamana for Kids: Overview, by co-author Bob Repoley
Book One, Two and Three Series: Kamana for Kids Book One:
Awareness and Book Two: Hazards have the same format. Each book is made up of
a series of nature-based stories with our favorite characters, Running Deer
and Moon Bird, involved in a nature adventure. An activity page is provided
at the end of each story in order to help each child practice a nature awareness
skill. “Awareness” or “Hazards” can be read in any order.
All of our books have an eight and one half inch by eleven inch format with
spiral binding for easy reading.
Book One explores all aspects of nature awareness: Secret Spot, Owl Eyes, Deer Ears, Raccoon Touch, and Dog Nose. Children love to follow the adventures Running Deer and Moon Bird. They provide fun learning through mystery and adventure.
“Awareness” has 5 stories, 100 pages, 42 full color illustrations,
5 black and white illustrations. For ages 6 to 10.
Book Two is a fun and sometimes-mysterious look at many of the common hazards in the natural world. It follows Running Deer and Moon Bird, on an eventful overnight hike where they encounter getting lost, lightning, wild animal encounters, poisonous plants, insects, and much more. Your child will learn to be aware of hazards, not fearful of them.
“Hazards” has 7 stories, 94 pages, 33 full color illustrations, 7 black and white illustrations. For ages 6 to 10.
In “Giving Thanks” Running Deer and Moon Bird encounter a variety of unusual animals and people, and find reason to give thanks for the good things in their lives. These stories provide a gentle reminder to the children, and to all of us, to offer thanksgiving. It can be read independently of our other books.
“Giving Thanks” has 5 Stories, 77 pages, 43 black and white illustrations. For ages 8 to 12
This book is a training guide designed for young people who desire a deeper connection with the natural world. It is based on the popular Kamana Naturalist Training Program for adults. We provide a foundation for a lifetime of nature learning by guiding each child, at any age level, through new and exciting experiences in the natural world.
“The Young Naturalist” presents challenging activities and questions that will stimulate their thinking. Think of it as a home "experience" nature awareness course for children, rather than a home "study" course for adults. It can be read independently of our other books. Chapter Titles: Mapping, People And The Earth, Water, Plants, Mammals, Tracking, Trees, Birds, Weather; Sun, Moon, Unseen Force.
“The Young Naturalist” has 170 Pages 10 Chapters 57 Black and white illustrations. Suitable for children (and adults) of all ages.
Bob Repoley and Barbara English are Kamana graduates and have attended several Art of Mentoring workshops. Barbara was formerly a Wilderness Awareness School Kamana instructor. They are elders, parents, storytellers and seasoned naturalists.
The Young Naturalist guides each child, at any age level, through new and exciting experiences in the natural world by asking questions and presenting challenging activities.
This one is printed in black and white, but there is also more material in this edition of Kamana for Kids.
It is perfect for parents to read and do with younger children AND for older children who can read to do on their own. We would say ages 6 to 12. Above 13 might try Kamana One.
