Curiosity Club!

Help Woodsy Owl in his conservation mission to

“lend a hand, care for the land!”

What is it?

• A summer nature program at the Cradle of Forestry Historic Site for children ages 4-7. Each day a variety of outdoor oriented activities will explore a forest related theme to engage young children in the natural world around them.
• A blend of investigation, creativity, and fun!
• Each child receives the interactive book Woodsy Owl’s ABC’s to enjoy at home.

When does it meet?

• Come to one program or enjoy as many as you’d like.
• We suggest that children wear closed-toe shoes.

Cost:

• $4.00 per child for each program. Accompanying adults are admitted to the Cradle of Forestry for half price ($2.50).
