Can’t commit to a full season of classes or need more flexibility this winter? Then choose a Flex Pack! Use the Flex Pack to attend any 5 of the 8 scheduled full series classes during the Winter 2025 season. It’s suggested you attend the first and last session and then any 3 classes in between, if possible. If that doesn't align, no worries—just come play when it works for your family!

This Winter, we foster kids’ problem-solving skills. Kids will get the chance to wonder, observe, experiment, and work together—all while developing problem-solving mindsets and learning that it’s fun, healthy and oh-so-important to get outdoors all 4 seasons!

Our lessons follow a steady progression and are organized into three units:

• Unit 1, We Are Explorers (lessons 1-2)—we discover that there are problems to solve everywhere and there are many ways to solve a problem.

• Unit 2, We Are Scientists (lessons 3-5)—we think like scientists to solve big problems, observing, experimenting, and sharing ideas to learn from what we see.

• Unit 3, We Are Changemakers (lessons 6-8)—we explore how working together can help us imagine, test and find the best solutions for our community and our planet!
