In an increasingly virtual world, Children's Saturday Programs offer your child the opportunity to be immersed in hands-on, in-person learning in an idyllic outdoor setting. Stroll through the forest, collect maple sap, hunt for newts in the pond, and savor signs of spring. Designed for ages 3-13, these programs inspire children to learn about nature while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and wonderment. Registration for these programs takes place in our UltraCamp system. If you do not already have a log in, you will need to create one.

Now that your child is getting older, they can bring their lunch to this session for a picnic and hike a little further than their younger siblings.

Members $90; nonmembers $105 (includes daily admission).
