Children’s Programs
Naturalist Explorers classes introduce children ages 5 to 8 to environmental and natural history topics in a fun and enthusiastic atmosphere. All classes include a short introduction inside followed by outdoor activities. Children should come dressed for the weather, wear closed toe shoes, and bring a water bottle. Parents are welcome to drop their kids off or to stay and participate with their child. Classes are offered one Saturday each month from September to May.
