Designed for children aged 1 to 8. must be accompanied by an adult.
Nature class takes place no matter the weather! We will seek shelter from rain; however, I encourage anyone that wants to embrace the elements to do so as long as there is no lightning. Some children like to explore with their whole body, and I recommend bringing a change of clothing and/or a towel. I provide a bucket of water for rinsing hands and there is a bathroom at the park, if needed. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
