Forest Time: Explore the great outdoors with your child

The natural world is a giant, open-ended learning laboratory. Children are innate scientists and love to experience the sights, scents, sounds, and textures of the outdoors. Nature provides countless opportunities for discovery, creativity, problem-solving, and STEM education. In nature, children think, question, and make hypotheses — thereby developing inquisitive minds. Come join this class with your child and learn about the “Sense of Wonder” through your child’s eyes by being outside and surrounded by nature. Every week there will be a variety of planned interactive outdoor activities for you and your child. The instructor, Maggie Olson, has a master’s in environmental education, with extensive experience in planning outdoor education experiences for young children.

Classes will be held at Lake Rebecca, so come dressed for the outdoors.

Meets weekly at Lake Rebecca Playground
