Fearless Fridays (Spring)

Program Description

Fearless Fridays is a 7 week nature immersion program for Kindergarten-2nd graders. Each mini-adventure aims to increase your child's weekly time outside, develop a sense of place in their local woodlands, tap into sensory exploration, ignite curiosity & wonder, and have fun with hands on learning! Grades K-2 on Fridays 4:00-5:30 3/27, 4/3,4/10, 4/17, 5/1, 5/8, 5/15 PROGRAM OUTLINE Every Friday we'll spend 90 mins exploring a different NA trail. For example: Rea's Pond, Osgood Hill, Boston Hill, Den Rock Park, Rolling Ridge, Half Mile Hill... Each week parents receive an email with the location and directions to the meeting spot. Activities may include: -exploring streams and lake Cochichewick -mud play -salamander hunts -building forts and animal houses -crafting nature boats -mixing and sculpting with natural clay -bug hunts -scavenger hunts -storywalks -nature journaling The interests and curiosities of the group, along with weekly weather, drive our plan for each week. While I have a general for each week, by allowing the kids freedom to explore and decide what excites them... that's how true enchantment, wonder and love of nature will bloom!
