Children's Saturday Programs Spring 2023 

Join our crew and be immersed in hands-on experiences in an idyllic outdoor setting. We’ll explore the seasonal changes during this monthly adventure by strolling through the forest, collecting maple sap, hunting for newts in the pond, and savoring the signs of spring. Designed for ages 3-13, these programs inspire children to learn about nature while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and wonderment. 

Preregistration is required for all Children’s Saturday Programs. Registration includes full series. Children must be potty trained. Caregivers will drop off children for these programs.
