Children's Saturday Programs Spring 2024

Registration now open!

Registrations take place online in our UltraCamp system. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

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.

Registration for Fall Children's Saturday Programs is now closed. Email registrar@cincynature.org with any questions.

Important Information

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.   

Cancellations must be made at least two weeks in advance of the first date of the series. No refunds or transfers of fees will occur if the request is made less than two weeks prior to the series start. Programs continue, rain or shine. 

Grouping Policy: Trail groups for each program will consist of small groups of children with two naturalists. Children attending large age range programs, like Saturday Nature Squad, will be split up into pre-assigned groups based on age and program registrations, and siblings are often separated into different groups.

If your child has a sibling/friend registered in their program and you wish to place them in the same trail group, please indicate this on your child's online health form under the “Additional Information” section at least two weeks in advance of the start date of the series. If you wish for your child to be placed with a family member/friend whose ages are not within one year of one another, our tendency is to place the older child with the younger child’s trail group. The group that your child is assigned to will be your child’s trail group for the series. 

Policy Updates: Please note that our policies are subject to change based on conditions at the time of the program.
