Garden Explorers Summer Program

Hands-On Summer Fun for Humans Ages 7 to 11

Come outside and play in Washington Park!

Our Summer youth program at the Old Stone House, “Garden Explorers” offers nature-centered outdoor learning.

Through engaging games, art and crafts, children are taught to identify plants and elements of the ecosystem. They will learn about pollinators, seed propagation, insects and the cycle of composting, as well as scavenger-hunting through the 1.5 acres of gardens of Washington Park.

Perfect for outdoorsy, creative kiddos who don’t want to be inside all day long! Activities are focused on nature. Students dye fabric with natural materials, make seed collages, create sun prints, learn about food preservation, make clay sculptures and so much more!
