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.

June 4 - Toads and Frogs: Learn all about these toad-ally helpful amphibians. June 11 - Fish: What is swimming through the lake?
June 18 - Wacky Weather: Explore the many types of weather we experience in the summer!
June 25 - Invent an Insect: Take a look at the fascinating lives of insects and design an insect of our own!
