Just as caterpillars grow and change, our Caterpillar Club programs are designed to help your little one grow and change. Each week, we will have you and your child(ren) exploring our natural world through a variety of seasonally appropriate, hands-on activities that will foster children's inborn sense of wonder and curiosity. These experiences are gauged towards early childhood (3-5 years old), but of course, all family members are welcome and encouraged to participate. Every program supports Virginia's Blocks for Early Learning.

Caterpillar Club meets at the VISITOR CENTER starting December 1.

February 2 - Love Birds: Do birds celebrate Valentines Day? From singing to dancing, learn how birds communicate.

February 9 - Sweet Treats: Celebrate National Chocolate Day by learning how trees produce chocolate and then enjoy a classic sweet treat by the fire.

February 16 - Love on the Loose: Some of our critters are on the loose. Hit the trail to help us track them down.

February 23 - Grow as You Go: With spring right around the corner, it's time to explore life cycles of animals that call the park home.
