Each season, we offer a four week series of programs for children (the critters) aged 3-6, and their caregivers (the company), to explore nature together. Experience the topic of the day through discovery hikes, stories, games, songs, nature art projects, and puppet shows. Programs are led by environmental educators, and take place both in the Bunker Interpretive Center and out in the Ecosystem Preserve. Interested in what happens during a program? Check out the Apple, Ants, and Mushrooms at the Bunker article which was written about our ant class in October 2011.
Program Fee
The series fee is $20 per family (a caregiver and up to three children of appropriate age).
This includes instruction for the seasonal series (four programs), take home discovery pages, nature art materials, and loads of fun. Babies and older siblings are welcome to come with their caregiver.
