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 cooking over the campfire! Please let us know if you have any food allergies, so we can plan accordingly. Kosher and Halal can be accomodated.
Traveling all the way from the tropical rainforest, here comes everyone’s favorite treat – chocolate! Join us in sampling the different varieties of chocolate and cocoa; plus, learn their differences starting from the tree and going all the way to the kitchen.
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!
It's an insect party! Explore what goes on in an ant colony and play a game to learn the dance moves used in their communication.
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.
