Little Critters – Wednesdays – Fall 2020

Wednesday, September 23, 2020

Join Sheldrake for our all-outdoor nature program, designed to give children the opportunity for STEM enrichment, connection with nature, and the company of other young enthusiasts. Each week, we’ll explore Sheldrake’s 60 acres, observing the changes in the natural world from late summer through mid-autumn. Whether rolling logs in search of creepy-crawlies, noticing the changing colors of leaves, or tiptoeing to the frog pond to see who might be visible among the lily pads, we’ll create our own adventure.

Children will be provided with a backpack and nature journal, to be brought to each class with their own writing instruments from home.

Our Little Critters:

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

Dates: Wednesdays – September 23-November 18 (no class 11/11) (8 sessions)

Time: 1:30-2:30 pm

For ages: 3-5

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 early December). Attendance is limited.

The class is full. Please explore our other programs or email scheduling@sheldrakecenter.org to be added to the wait list and consult our calendar for additional programming.
