NEW
Check out the new program, Wild Wee Ones, a nature-based program for children ages 2.5 - 5 and their parent or guardian to connect together with the outdoors. We provide a nurturing and learning environment for you and your young explorers. Our program leaders will guide you both in nature based play and discovery. Our playroom is the earth, the trees, the rivers and the fields. We lead by the explorer's natural curiosity and expand on the interest. We meet outside and stay outside, rain or shine, hot or cold, becoming aware of what we need to wear for our experiences.
We also offer programs for Home Schoolers at select locations.
