Forest Fridays: Spring Adventures

Friday mornings, March 17 – May 19
(No class Fridays March 31 & April 7)

Forest Fridays is an 8-week, Friday morning series hosted by the Nature Preschool. This program makes use of the Center’s outstanding nature trails, as well as the Preschool’s newest outdoor classroom: The Secret Forest. In this series, Preschool teachers focus on nature experiences that are age-appropriate and include plenty of time for play and social interaction. Forest Fridays is the perfect option for families with children ages 4-6 who would like their children to share in the Nature Preschool experience, but prefer a short-term commitment! Also a nice complement to a traditional K4 afternoon program.

In our Spring Adventures series, we’ll learn about maple sugaring, study the ephemeral life in a vernal pond, observe spring wildflowers, and learn about the magic of metamorphosis. Participants will hike to favorite Schlitz Audubon destinations, such as Mystery Lake, West Meadows, and Lake Michigan. They’ll also have time to climb, explore, and play. including lots of mud and puddle play!

A completed student profile, which includes a health history and emergency care plan, is required for each participant prior to registration. Also, please read our current mask policy prior to registration.

Members: $400 | Non-members: $475
