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.

Please dress for the weather. We are meeting at the Visitor Center.

December 5 - Animal in Winter: Learn if our animal friends migrate, adapt, or hibernate for winter.
December 12 - Winter Wreaths Workshop: Create a seasonal craft out of an invasive species.
December 19 - Evergreens: Look for signs of green among the grey forest.

Please call (804) 796-4472 or email Rebecca.Whalen@dcr.virginia.gov for more information.
