NATURE PROGRAMS

SILLY SNOWSHOES NEW! Snow or no snow, we’ve got you covered! Let’s use your engineering skills and imagination to invent some special new and silly snowshoes, created out of recycled and natural materials. Once your shoes are done, we’ll head outside to try them out, and play some games and activities to see how they hold up. Best shoes will win a special prize! If there’s enough snow on the ground, we’ll try our traditional snowshoes on as well. This is a youth-only, drop-off program.
