Children’s Programs – Spring ’22

In 2022, Learning Adventures for Children are held outdoors in the diverse environments across the Preserve’s beautiful grounds and in the Phil Dejana Learning Center Outdoor Classroom. Weekly classes of just six to eight children ages 15 months through 14 years foster lifelong connections between art, science, wellness, and the environment. Face masks are required to help ensure the health and safety of all participants.

For parents who wish to create private classes for children in a school or social pod – we can work with you to develop custom programs.

Please note: in the event of inclement weather, classes will be rescheduled on the dates indicated below.
