The Discovery Nest is an outdoor education program, designed to provide the tools and skills families need to play, laugh, wonder, learn and grow together. The content and activities will inspire child(ren) 3-7 years old, to learn important language, math, reading, art, health and science skills while exploring topics about wildlife and nature. 

Once per month, we’ll gather outside and introduce a new and exciting nature topic, which will be the main focus of our outdoor exploration and learning. This winter, families will get the chance to explore the following topics:

• Wild Animals vs. Tame Animals

• Animal Adaptions

• Animal Tracks
