Nature Clubs
Exploring nature is a delight when it's a family affair! Our weekly nature clubs offer young students a fun learning experience that will be sure to kindle a life-long love of nature. This programs runs throughout the year with each week focusing on a different theme from seasons to tortoises to life underground. Stories, hikes, live animals, crafts, and hands-on lessons will make learning come to life!
