Weekly Child/Adult Classes
Registration for Brookline is Now Open!
About
Our Child/Adult classes offer a safe and fun way for your young naturalist to get outside and explore the natural community around them! Each class is organized around a seasonally relevant topic (ex: Grasshoppers, Fall Leaves, Winter Birds, Signs of Spring, & more!), that we will investigate through a combination of hands-on exploration, active movement, outdoor play, games, songs, crafts, and stories. Offered in various towns throughout the Greater Boston area, our Child/Adult Classes are typically held in local parks, reservations, or recreation areas, giving you the opportunity to connect with a natural community that’s close to home.
