​​​​​Join us on April 20th from 10:00am-12:00pm for a fun, hands-on outdoor experience to celebrate Earth Day and Spring Break! Enjoy a guided walk through the Enchanted Forest, taking in the sights, sounds, and beauty of nature.
​
After the walk, we’ll get creative by using collected leaves, sticks, flowers, and other natural treasures to decorate plant pots. Then, each child will plant seeds in their decorated pot to take home and watch grow! This is a great time for kiddos to make connections, learn about natural resources, and celebrate nature with friends and family!
​
Please note: this is not a drop-off program.
$10 Per Child
