Wednesday Wonders 2024
This event is no longer on sale.
Wednesday Wonders is geared towards elementary aged (recommended ages 5-9) learners. Offering a different natural history topic each week we will cultivate critical thinking, scientific literacy, and stewardship of our natural surroundings. This hour long program emphasizes learning through exploration and discovery outdoors combined with science experiments, activities, play, and art. Come prepared for the weather as we go outside for hikes, creekwalks, and activities during all seasons.
