Calling all forest friends!

Tuesdays, Nov 5 - Dec 9, 2024 | 9:30 - 10:30am

Ages: 15 months to 5 years, with a caregiver

Join us for a 6-week “Forest Friends” Nature Playgroup, a program designed for families with young children to explore and connect with nature! This program will meet outside, where children can engage in free play, discover the wonders of the natural world, and unleash their creativity through seasonal activities. Your little explorers will leave with new knowledge, friendships, and a deeper appreciation for the environment.

What to Expect:

Free Play Discovery: Children will have the freedom to explore various nature-themed play stations, encouraging curiosity and imaginative play. They'll discover natural materials, climb, dig, and create.

Seasonal Activities & Crafts: Each week, we will introduce a new seasonal activity or craft related to the natural world. From leaf printing to building mini habitats, these hands-on projects will foster creativity and deepen children's connection to nature.

Family Connection: Meet and socialize with other families who share a passion for the outdoors.

Ask an Expert: An Environmental Educator will be on hand to help your little ones foster a love of nature.

Weather Policy: Please come dressed in layers for the weather, as we will try to meet outside rain or shine! In case of inclement weather, the group will meet inside.
