The bird world is full of fascinating species! Participants will learn bird biology, act out common bird behaviors, and investigate how unique adaptations help birds thrive in their habitats. Touchable biofacts such as bones, talons, and feathers add new layers of fun as we learn about our feathered friends.
This program is geared for ages 5 and up. 
Space is limited. First come, first served. 

Wish You Were Here – Footprints Through Time
When you discover a mysterious suitcase filled with expedition tools, you’ll use your imagination and senses to search for dinosaur fossils! Journey through the jungle, dig for bones at an excavation site, rescue dinosaurs from tar pits, and collect dino eggs—just be careful of the earth-shaking volcano!

Additional Notes:

“Healthy Relationships” is a supportive and engaging talk for teens about building positive relationships with friends, family, and partners. Participants will learn about communication, respect, boundaries, and making healthy choices while gaining skills to build confidence and stronger connections with others.

This program is for ages 14-17.
