You don’t have to be a member to participate in YNC events, we welcome everyone! You may find, though, that events fill up quickly and priority may be given to current members if an event reaches its safety or logistical maximum. A yearly membership to the Young Naturalists Club is $25 and gives your family:

*Please note, the Nature Guardians Chapter has attendance caps for most events. You may want to get in touch with the chapter leader to make sure there is space for more attendees before registering your membership.

How to sign up:

Enter your family’s information into the membership form below, remembering to include your names, children’s ages, and local chapter selection. We also appreciate information about how you found the YNC. Some chapters, like our Halifax family chapter and the Nature Guardians tweens chapter, organize via email list, so make sure you check those chapters to get updates in your inbox. Other chapters may be more likely to organize via Facebook group. In either case, we’ll send you an email when you first join with instructions for how to follow along.


Optional: You can then move on to the payment bubble below, where you’ll be directed to our checkout page and you can purchase your yearly membership. You will get a confirmation email after both registering and paying. That’s it! Your chapter leader will be in touch to welcome you to the Club and to notify you of upcoming events.

If you have any troubles, please contact our Coordinator.  


Now either pay for your membership by clicking the “shop now” button below or reach out to your chapter leader about membership options for your family. Your annual YNC membership fee of $25 covers regular events, field trips, and talks for the whole family. Special events, like the annual Celebration of Nature, are not included in the yearly membership.
