Get outside with other families and a naturalist at Sheldrake, as you discover nature with your little one. This one-day class is designed to expose children to the joys of nature at a young age, towards the goal of cultivating a life-long love of the natural world. Adventures for wee ones might include studying animal tracks, storytime, games, or crafts. There’s no shortage of educational fun on Sheldrake’s 60 acres–in all seasons! Advance registration is required; space is limited.

A waiver for both children and their adult chaperones must be completed. Chaperones other than the child’s parents should print the Sheldrake waiver, sign this, and bring the signed waiver to the program for collection.
