Event details
Answer the call of your wild child by getting outside with this monthly nature-themed program geared toward children ages 3 to 5. Join a naturalist for hands-on activities such as games, stories, crafts, hikes and more! One Friday each month we will have something new for you and your child to explore while getting a little dirt on those hands and knees.
