Wild Playground

Cost: $35/day

Kids climbing the walls and no childcare? No programming, just supervised play in a natural setting. Kids free playing outside develop better gross motor skills, risk assessment skills, and social skills. We give them the opportunity to explore and play outdoors like kids have for hundreds of years before video games and electronic gadgets in a safe, supervised setting. Located at McManus Park.

Outdoor Skills

Dates: July 8-12

Time: 8:30 am – 3:00 pm

Ages: 9-14

Cost: $225 - partial scholarships may be available

This is an introduction to outdoor skills. Kids with lots of experience outdoors may find it too basic. Packing, camping, cooking, navigating, practicing leave no trace, and staying safe. Being outdoors involves a lot of skills and being comfortable and safe outdoors sets kids up for a lifetime of fun. We will explore native habitats, learn some new skills, and have a great time doing it. Leaves from WWF Office (669 Main St).
