Join us outdoors for Kids in Nature—a hands-on, family-friendly class designed for children ages 3-7 and their parents or caregivers. Together we’ll explore nature, try age-appropriate crafts, and enjoy traditional folk activities in every season—rain, snow, or shine. Activities may include candle making in the snow, ice painting, building pine cone bird feeders, creating clay nature prints, weaving with sticks and yarn, and even playing cultural games like the Indigenous Sliding Game or Stiv Heks (a Norwegian freeze tag).

Your instructor will provide the following:

• exploring tools for children
