Nature Detectives – Late Winter (ages 6-9)
February 3 @ 3:30 pm - March 24 @ 4:30 pm
Embrace the 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 seasonal conditions 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 – February 3-March 24 (7 sessions; no class 2/17)
Time: 3:30-4:30 pm
For ages: 6-9 (drop-off program)
Fee: $155 for members, $175 for non-members
