Get ready for a summer full of wonder and discovery. Our summer Stay + Play series invite parents and children to explore the natural world together through hands-on, joyful activities. Each week we discover something new, from digging in the dirt to meet worms, to flapping and fluttering like birds and butterflies, wandering through the garden, and splashing in the water. Along the way, children and caregivers enjoy movement and songs, storytelling, creating nature-inspired crafts, playing in our nature play area, and exploring sensory activities. These classes offer a delightful mix of curiosity, movement, and creativity designed to spark connection with nature and with each other.

JUNE 11 or 12
Dig With Me invites children to explore the wonders beneath the surface.
