Now you have even better flexibility in giving your child the gift of outdoor learning. This program format is designed as developmentally appropriate with children's growing independence in mind; adults and siblings should plan to enjoy leisure activities in the park while the enrolled young naturalist participates in the structured program. We'll play, sing, hike, make crafts, and tell stories together, with a different theme each week. Classes are limited to 12 children.   Register HERE.
