Come experience a day in the life of a squirrel! This creative program is designed to provide students with a first-hand, realistic depiction of what these agile animals do throughout the course of an average day. From camouflaging to building dreys, students participate in a variety of interactive games and role-playing activities that simulate important milestones in squirrel life.
