## About

A drop-off nature program for homeschooled young naturalists that follows the seasons through monthly themes such as Changes in Nature, Animal Classification and the Water Cycle. Naturalists let children's curiosity and spontaneous questions shape each morning, which always includes outdoor play, trail exploration and visits with the Nature Center's animal ambassadors. Classes run rain or shine and are mostly outdoors, so dress for the weather and send a water bottle and snack. Health history, emergency and release forms are required after registration. The full series has 16 classes from September 2026 to April 2027.
