Join us twice a month for an exciting day of playing, adventures, and learning in nature while
building routines and foundations of ecological knowledge of place. Through activities, stories, and
games we will exercise the senses, improve navigation and survival skills, discover the plants and
animals of our surroundings, and simply experience the fun and mystery in nature.
For ages 7-9.
This will be an ongoing program where kids can benefit from continuing throughout all the seasons.
