School's out, but the woods are open! Children will explore vernal pools, search for amphibians, stomp in the mud, and scoop in the swamp! Each day will include exploration, hands-on activities, animal presentations, and nature crafts. 

This program is outdoors. Please dress your child appropriately. Each group will have a sheltered Home Base space with patio heaters and a fire. Time spent inside our building will be limited to animal lessons, bad weather, bathroom use, and emergency use. Please read our Program Policies before attending our program.
