Kids ages 6 - 12 can learn about nature in a play setting during Forest School Afternoons this Winter and Spring at Anita Purves Nature Center and Busey Woods.
Forest School Afternoons are Wednesdays and select Saturdays from 1:15 - 4:15 p.m. Drop the kids off at Friendship Grove Nature Playscape rain or shine. The school will be outside, so dress for the weather! The students will discover nature through outdoor play. The park district will provide a light snack. The kids will need to bring a re-fillable water bottle daily.
There are several opportunities to sign up. Call David at (217) 384-4062 for more information or to sign up. Or, sign up at the link below.
