Nature Explorers!

Join us on Saturday for our Nature Explorers program!

Nature Explorers is a drop-off environmental education program series that focuses on specific lessons to inspire students to connect with nature through interactive guided hikes, planetarium shows, environmental arts and crafts, and interactive roleplaying games and activities.

Nature Explorers is for children ages 5-10, and runs from 9:00-11:00 am.

Nature Explorers is limited to 15 children per day, please be aware that this program may sell out!
All campers must bring their own hand sanitizer and mask each day of camp. We will be requiring that masks are used whenever possible.

We have also modified certain procedures to reduce the sharing of items (such as craft supplies) between children and reduce physical contact. Our programs are designed to take place almost entirely outside, where children will have lots of fresh air and space to spread out!

If you have any questions, have a problem during the registration process, or would like more information, please email
