Wild Explorers

Wild Explorers

After the school day ends, join us for a walk on the wild side of science. Participants will spend 2 hours at Swaner from 3:30 to 5:30 one day a week during the 3-week session to learn more about nature and the science that powers it. Our afterschool program is open to youth currently enrolled in Kindergarten through 5th grade and participants should be enrolled based on their current grade level. Each day includes a small snack, outdoor time, and hands-on activities. Participants should come dressed and prepared for the weather each day.
