Join our squad of fellow nature enthusiasts, and each month we’ll discover the wonders of the natural world together! Guided by passionate program leaders and surrounded by other youth who love the outdoors, children will have hands-on experiences in nature and explore seasonal changes on this monthly adventure.
What to bring: Please bring your own masks. In accordance with Gov. DeWine’s updated K-12 mandate, all children grades Kindergarten and up should bring a mask to their program that is easy for them to put on themselves. Since hiking and active exploration will be main elements of our programs, children of all ages will be allowed to keep their masks off during these outdoor activities. These activities fall into the “exercise” category in the order and are permissible without masks in K-12th grade educational settings when outdoors. Children should still be prepared to wear masks when:
- inside any building (ex: using restrooms, inside Visitor Center during an unanticipated thunderstorm, etc.)
- passing other hikers on the trails who are not a part of the program.
- engaging in tranquil or sedentary activities and are not able to consistently be spaced 6 feet apart (ex: choosing to sketch or pond dip next to a friend instead of 6 feet apart).
Members $85; nonmembers $100 (includes daily admission). Preregistration is required and price includes all dates in the series.
