Outdoor Adventures – Upcycle
Saturday, April 20th, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Earth Day is right around the corner. There are so many ways we can do our part to protect natural resources and be stewards of the land. We do our part by recycling, how about upcycling too?! Join us to learn more about upcycling and how this can create less waste for our environment. Our Education team will guide your family through this interactive learning experience focused on the theme.
This program is entirely outdoors, weather dependent. Registration is required by 1 day prior to each class and includes everything you need to participate in the program. Designed for children ages 4 -11 but all are welcome.
