In the farthest Northeast corner of the United States, where the skyscrapers of Boston scrape the sky and the lighthouses of Cape Cod wink at the ships on the sea, you'll find a rather splendid place known as Massachusetts. Our story introduces a cast of cute, funny, and remarkably adventurous kiddos, who are fondly referred to as the ‘Nature Navigators’. Now, the Nature Navigators are not your average children. They swap video game controllers for magnifying glasses and favorite TV shows for real-life bird watching. You'll find them trudging through the ancient Appalachian trails, their sneakers splattered with mud, and laughter echoing through the trees. They dive into the waters of the Atlantic, swimming alongside the seahorses and occasionally engaging in a friendly race with a speedy blue crab. Our leader is a character as distinctive as Massachusetts itself; a rambunctious raccoon named Rocky. Rocky wears a bright red bandana, a sturdy backpack, and a pair of round spectacles that always seem to slide down his nose. He may seem a bit clumsy, but he's as smart as a whip, and always ready with a joke to cheer up his team. Together, the Nature Navigators and Rocky explore the corners of Massachusetts, from the Berkshire Mountains to the beaches of the Cape, and all the hidden secrets in-between. They always have a giggle as they learn about the environment and the creatures who call this place home. It's wacky, it's wild, it's a hoot-and-a-half, and every day brings a new adventure for these intrepid Massachusetts explorers.

This transaction was an extremely lucky turn of events for the organization. Camp Kiwanee's Needles Lodge has been on the National Register of Historic Properties since February of 2005. It's the very first Hanson property to be included in the register, and for good reason: this much-loved building and its surrounding area are truly a gem. Originally owned by Albert Burrage, a lawyer and businessman from Boston, the land was purchased in 1899. He and his family spent their summers there until a fire destroyed the house and its contents in 1907. Burrage rebuilt the house and added a stone firehouse and cottage, all finished by 1908. In 1922, he sold the property to Camp Fire Girls on a whim, thinking Hanson was taxing him too heavily. This fortunate decision has made a great difference to the organization.
