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 learning how to send messages over long distances using semaphore, morse code, and more!
How do you react when we see a snake? What about a spider, bat, or wolf? Join us as we peek behind the curtains of the myths and legends that tell us certain animals are spooky, use art to "de-scare" some creepy crawlies, and meet with a (very friendly) snake in person!
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.
Join us for an hour of animal fun! Each week we’ll learn about a different animal using games, art, animal artifacts (both real and replica), and more!
Here comes everyone's favorite amphibian! Let's explore the famous axolotl!
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.
