About the event
Join us for leafy adventures this summer! Children ages 3 - 5 and 5 - 10 will roam the forests and fields making seasonal discoveries and new friends. We will explore meadow, stream, pond, and woodland habitats, play games, make nature arts and handcrafts, and more! Please note: age groups may combine depending on the number of children enrolled.
This is a playful way to extend forest school throughout the summer. Classes take place 100% outdoors, rain-or-shine. Two nature-loving teachers guide children during Summer Forest Friends camp. A complete list of gear, weather policies, and other details are provided upon registration.
