How to Stay Warm
February 2, 2021 from 1-4pm
Burr! Staying warm in winter is tough, even for the animals. For our first week of Science Adventures, we’ll explore animal adaptations for keeping in the heat. As we make our way around the preserve, we’ll learn how we can keep warm too.
Shelters in Snow
February 9, 2021 from 1-4pm
We have some snow, so let’s build snow forts! This week we’ll work together as a group to make different shelters. Through activities and games we’ll also learn about how people survived in the elements before living in modern homes.
Finding Our Way in Winter
February 23, 2021 from 1-4pm
Navigating the landscape in any season is challenging if you don’t have the right tools. This week we’ll put our sense of direction to the test! As we explore, we’ll learn about how animals navigate the winter months to find shelter and food.
* Please note there will be no Science Adventures on February 16 as day camp will be in session.
More details: This program is planned to be entirely outdoors, so please dress for the weather. Lessons are suited for ages 5-13. Students must pre-register for the entire series. Adults are encouraged, but not required to join the group, and must stay on-site during the program. Bring a water bottle and a small snack.
