One of the best ways to facilitate a life-long appreciation for natural places is to enhance a child’s sensory awareness. In this program, students participate in a series of interactive and tactile activities designed to encourage exploration through the senses. Join us in a nature sensory adventure and experience the world through the eyes of an insect and the ears of a deer.
