Naturalist Explorers classes introduce children ages 5 to 8 to environmental and natural history topics in a fun and enthusiastic atmosphere. All classes include a short introduction inside followed by outdoor activities. This spring, join Arboretum naturalists for five exciting outdoor adventures. Discover how to have fun outdoors and master a few outdoor skills, like orienteering, hiking, fishing, and how to read a compass. Learn how to bait a hook and paddle around a pond! This month, Naturalist Explorers will get to experience two of the best ways to enjoy outdoor time on the water! These fun activities are also the perfect time to also learn about our valuable water ecosystems and why it’s important to protect them.
