• Make plant-based crafts using herbs.
• Design kinetic sculptures powered by the wind.
• Craft musical instruments from natural materials and compose music.
• Experiment and cook delicious, nature-based recipes.
• Share their discoveries in an interactive exhibit—where science, nature, and art meet. 

Through creative play and collaboration, kids will forge lasting friendships. Along the way, they'll discover new passions and gain essential life skills. No experience needed—just a love for exploring. Watch their world expand!

This is a small group program. Space is limited.
