Outdoor Education Fieldtrip Opportunity
|
 By day we are a Preschool & Childcare facility. By afternoon, we offer fieldtrips to share what we can learn from nature.
Here are just a few things you can do:
- Experience our outdoor education classroom. Our nature center includes a large, fenced in area for kids to safely encounter nature. We catch leaves, and snowflakes, and dig in the
dirt. - Hike on our nature trail. We have over 18 acres of land that is home to many animals
- Trees are tapped for sap in late Winter. We then boil it for syrup.
- Visit the owl's nest. We expect owlets to hatch mid-March. They will be grown up and leave the nest by the end of May or early June. Learn all about owls, from our resident expert, Mr. Boris.
Fieldtrip times available year-round.
