Sheldrake Environmental Center

Young Naturalist Academy (Virtual) – Late Winter 2021

For a virtual STEM experience, journey with Sheldrake through our Young Naturalist Academy, weekly nature adventures that will capture children’s imagination and stimulate their curiosity about the natural world.

Together, we’ll learn about animal habitats, the impact of seasonal changes, and other fascinating facets of nature. This will be done via virtual visits to Sheldrake, hands-on projects, games, and lots of interactivity. (Photo by Jim Sutherland)
