Important Details – Please read before proceeding to the registration form!

***Registration to participate in the Nature Pen Pal Exchange for Summer 2025 is now CLOSED!***

Fall NPPE registration will be opening next. If you are on our email list, you will be the first to know details for each seasonal registration and any updates.

You will need to fill out the NPPE Registration Form below to register your family or nature group. Upon submitting your registration form, you will be redirected to our payment gateway to complete your registration. Once redirected, you will need to add to your cart the SUMMER 2025 NPPE FOR FAMILIES or SUMMER 2025 NPPE FOR NATURE GROUPS if you are registering your group instead of just your family and then checkout to complete your family or group’s registration.

The family fee to participate in this summer exchange is $20 and for nature groups, the fee to participate is $60.

Within a few weeks after registering your family or group, you will receive an email telling who your family/group is paired up with (your nature pen pals), where they’re from, and the ages of their children. This can be helpful in knowing how you can compile your materials.

The start date for our summer exchange will be on June 20th and will end on August 15th which gives your family 8 weeks to collect your nature items for your pals. All exchanges will need to be mailed to your nature pen pals by or before the week of August 18th.

Please refer to our NPPE Guidelines to understand how to collect your items, how to set up your package for mailing, the safety of the local ecology, and other tips. Also, please read the terms and conditions here: Terms and Conditions.

We invite you to follow Nature Pen Pal Exchange posts & announcements on Instagram and Facebook to see what everyone is collecting and sharing. We will share these on our page as our families share them on their accounts and when you share yours, don’t forget to hashtag your posts with #naturepenpalexchange so that everyone can find your NPPE posts.

We look forward to seeing everyone’s treasures this summer and we wish you and your family many happy adventures!
