Nature Detectives Early Winter

December 2, 2020 @ 3:30 pm - January 27, 2021 @ 4:30 pm

  • « Private Pod Program – Blue Jay Group
  • Private Pod Program – Black-Crowned Night Herons »

Embrace the arrival of winter with weekly adventures at Sheldrake. School-aged children can enjoy being nature detectives as they search for life under logs and observe the impact of changing temperatures on the natural world. Our all-outdoor nature program gives school-aged children the opportunity for STEM enrichment, connection with nature, and the company of other young enthusiasts.

Our Nature Detectives:

  • get first-hand experience with science and nature
  • learn about birds, insects, seeds, trees, and other natural wonders
  • enjoy the outdoors as they explore the trails of a 60-acre conservancy
  • have fun with nature games and other activities

Dates: Wednesdays – December 2-January 27 (7 sessions; no class December 23 or 30)

Time: 3:30-4:30 pm

For ages: 6-9 (drop-off program)

Fee: $175 for members, $200 for non-members

COVID-19 Precautions: All participants are required to wear masks, complete daily health screeners, have their temperature taken daily, and sign a waiver at the outset of the program. Classes are conducted entirely outdoors, including in mildly inclement weather (any canceled classes will be made up in February). Attendance is limited.

Space is limited; please register below to secure your spot.

The class is full. Please explore our other programs or email scheduling@sheldrakecenter.org to be added to the wait list.
