AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
We go to schools to explore their green spaces – big and small – and discover the wonders within.
Blue Heron offers after-school enrichment programs at a number of schools throughout Atlanta where our expert Blue Heron Naturalist helps children uncover their own curiosities. By spending hands-on time in nature, children will learn to care for living things and build their own scientific understanding of the natural world through discovery, observation, and experimentation.
At every session, a Blue Heron naturalist will bring an outdoor activity kit full of age-appropriate tools and activities to facilitate your child’s outdoor exploration. This kit will include magnifying lenses, field guides, butterfly nets, buckets and baskets for collecting, and art supplies. Every session will include some type of art-related activity.
Details:
- Minimum 5 participants, max 15 students
