Elementary Nature Discovery Afterschool Club

We can't wait to explore the Preserve with your child in this drop-off after school club for elementary age students! In this twice-monthly after school session, your child(ren) will discover the Preserve as young naturalists, letting their curiosity guide their hands-on exploration. We'll provide tools and expertise to go deep into a variety of topics.

Students will explore through playful inquiry, investigation, and discovery.

Ideally, students will attend multiple Nature Discovery sessions. Since topics and meet up locations change, each time is new and they can build on what they know. It is also OK to jump in at any point!

REGISTRATION CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT THE TUESDAY BEFORE CLASS. This allows us time to plan. If you miss the deadline, you may email jim@conesteepreserve.org to determine if there is still space for your child. CLASS SHOWING FULL? We can start a wait list. Please let us know, and we'll do our best to accommodate!

Every parent must fill out this form for their child/children once each season of Nature Discovery prior to their first class.
