Let’s go outdoors! Each week during the summer, we’re learning an new skill to help us survive in the wilderness. No experience is necessary. Are you up to the challenge?
This week we're making our own firestarters and learning how to use them.
Why are arctic hares white? Or monarch butterflies orange? Join us as we use art to create a Colorful Wildlife Exhibit with and learn why animals look the way they do. Plus, play matching games and go on a nature walk too see if your animal blends in or stands out!
This workshop is for children accompanied by an adult. Adults are expected to stay for the duration of the workshop – it is not a drop-off program.
Dude, we’re learning about sea turtles! Catch a wave with us as we explore these radical ocean reptiles with games, sick crafts, and more! We’re stoked to have you join us for a totally tubular time!
