Programs
Nuthatches
Ages 4-7
Tuesdays 9am-330pm
Nuthatches are a creative flock. Each week’s new adventure lets our newest birds do what they do best—play. We embrace their wanderlust, imaginative games, and impromptu bouts of song and storytelling. By spending time outside with new friends and lots of options, Nuthatches will build social skills and resilience, while feeding a love of nature that will last a lifetime.
PA Day Programs
Ages 4-13
Fridays 9am-330pm
Chickadees live for fun year round! They hop with ease through nature testing everything on offer. We know that some activities draw lots of enthusiasm, and some are fleeting. So we fly with the Chickadees, on to the next and we take our cues from them. Maybe it’s a long walk with imaginative storytelling or maybe it’s cooking by the warmth of the fire. We encourage their independent day with independent play. Come join us on PD days!
