The Kindergarten session focus is on animals. Participants play games to simulate animal senses and explore different animal homes. Children of the first grade session learn about plants and animal groups. They play bird behavior bingo, discover mammal adaptations, and explore the difference between reptiles and amphibians. We learn about how animals are adapted to their environment during the second grade session through pond exploration, insect activities, and crafts.
Third graders learn about producers, consumers, and decomposers.
They play food chain games, explore a rotten logs and learn about the water cycle. Habitats are studied by the fourth graders. They make nature study kits and explore forest, field, and pond habitats. The fifth and sixth graders can spend an overnight at The Wilderness Center. We take a night hike, learn about constellations and participate in a star watch.
