Day Programs Ages 4 – 16
All of our programs are designed to be both fun and informative. Naturalists lead small
groups teaching natural history and the natural sciences, nature crafting, social growth, as
well as leadership and outdoor skills. Programs emphasize interactive, hands-on, outdoor
experiences. Participants slog through bogs, explore forests, tread gently across trails and learn
about nature, while immersed in it. Join us for a fun-filled summer in the great outdoors!
Programs begin at 9:00am and end at 4:00pm. Pre and after care available.
