Online registration form is below. To sign up for any or all of the Explore! sessions, fill out the form below.This is the first in our series of four new fall outdoor adventure programs in October.
Designed for kids in grades K to 5, EXPLORE! programs will run on four Thursdays, October 3, 10, 17, and 24.
Sessions are after school, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Pine Hill Recreation Area in Waynesboro, Pa.
All program activities are outside, and each week features a different theme. Taught by educators from Buttonwood Nature Center, home of The Institute, programs include educational activities related to the season and theme. Students may attend any or all sessions.
Come join Buttonwood as we forage for materials to make fairy houses. Students will collect treasures from nature—leaves, rocks, sticks, vines and more—and learn how to build a fairy house in the woods—or in any outdoor setting.
We’ll read a story, build fairy houses, and stretch our imaginations while we spend time in nature!
Pre-registration and payment in advance are required.
Fee: $6 per child, per session for member of Buttonwood/The Institute, and $7 per child, per session for the general public.
Attendance is limited. To register, use the form below.
