Your children will enjoy a variety of activities that lead to discoveries in nature. Because group sizes are limited, you and your child will spend "quality time" as you explore these guided topics together. Please, no non-participating siblings! To maintain the high quality of the children's programs, we require you to pre-register for all programs.
- Age 2–3 Little Wonders
- Age 4–6 NatureNauts

Give your young children the opportunity to explore a "wild place." Each session includes outside exploring time, songs, stories, and crafts – all relating to a simple, nature subject.
