Taught by one of our USA Archery-certified Instructors, this class is for beginner and seasoned archers alike. Besides learning how to shoot a bow and arrow, this is a great opportunity for children to improve their skills in hand-eye coordination, patience, concentration, and spatial awareness. This class takes place at the Indoor Archery Range at Fox Center.

 

Archery is for everyone! PDOP Archery instructors are trained in adaptive archery and the elements used to make this sport accessible to all. If you need accomodations made, please email Hannah Garcia at hannah.garcia@pdop.org before class begins.

Math is all around us! Using the “Math in the Garden” curriculum, we’re exploring mathematical concepts through plants, soil, and more. Topics covered include estimation, area & perimeter, angles, symmetry, and more. This class takes place entirely outdoors, except in inclement weather. Curriculum developed by KidsGardening, The University of California Botanical Garden, and the Lawrence Hall of Science.

 

In this class, we're measuring and comparing the area of leaves using nonstandard units of  measurement.

Using curriculum from Project Wild, Project WET, and Project Learning Tree, we're learning about ecological systems (food webs, the water cycle, etc.), adaptations in animals, and human interaction with the environment. Curriculum is written by the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies, the Project WET Foundation, and The American Forest Foundation.

Please dress for the weather – this program takes place outside as often as possible.

 

In this class, we're learning about how and why leaves change color in the fall, and how that effects the surrounding environment.
