Build a bridge to nature with your young ones. Experience how multisensory nature connections help young children develop healthy and happy brains and bodies. Time spent in nature is critical to children's social-emotional, and physical development. Child-centered, exploratory, imaginative play fosters creativity, emotional well-being, independent learning, and problem solving.

Learn the stories artifacts can tell by taking a closer look at quilts, clothing, and sewing artifacts in the exhibit, Threads of Time. We will then do activities and create crafts around the objects we discuss.

Join us for an exploration of the remarkable adaptations, fascinating behaviors, and unique calls of our local frogs and toads.

Learn about the unique life cycles and adaptations of frogs and toads as well as which species can be found in Lake County. Practice identifying different frog calls and then head out on the trail to listen for who's "croaking" in the woods at night.
