Hey, junior archers! Want to teach your adults a thing or two about shooting a bow and arrow? Our trained instructors will help you and your adult learn the ropes of this fun adventure sport. Registration is for one child and one adult. Please register your child archer only, not their adult.
Archery is for everyone! Our instructor is trained in adaptive archery and the elements used to make this sport accessible. Please contact us if there are any accommodations you may need!
Forest Bathing (also known as Shinrin-Yoku) is not a hike, fitness walk, or naturalist-led program – instead, it is a unique opportunity to slow down, awaken your senses, and connect with the natural world in nourishing and meaningful ways. Through a series of gentle invitations by an ANFT Certified guide, you’ll have the chance to deepen your relationship with the land and its inhabitants, as well as share in that experience with others.
In addition to feeling more grounded, calm, and peaceful, when practiced regularly, Forest Bathing has been shown to support overall well-being, including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, improved sleep, enhanced creativity and focus, and even a decrease in anxiety and depression. Many people also find that they begin to experience familiar parks and forests in new, surprising, and deeply personal ways.
This class offers students the opportunity to get a taste for scientific experimentation through a new hands-on science lab each week. We'll be going through the steps of the scientific method, including making hypotheses and data collection, as we explore the world around us. Experiments are designed to supplement lessons aligned with 4th-8th grade science standards. Curriculum written by the educators at Science Buddies.
This week, we're exploring compounds and dissolution with a chromatography experiment!
We're traveling back in time! Each month we'll learn about a different historic civilization and major accomplishments from that time period. These sessions differ from our previous classes, as you register for four weeks at a time. This is so we can cover broader topics and work on projects that carry over from class to class.
This month, we're going to one of the cradles of civilization – Mesopotamia!
