Themes:
Cool Communities (5-6
yrs.)
Did you
know forests were communities too? In this cool class, children
have the opportunity to explore the different communities of
the High Desert—people and wild communities.
Through a variety of fun and creative activities, children will
learn what communities are, who lives in them, how they change,
and much more! This class will include arts and crafts,
science, and a lot of outdoor
exploration.
Creature Feature (5-6
yrs.)
Experience
the wild side with this High Desert animal class! Children will
learn about the different critters that call this place home.
Reptiles, birds, and mammals will all be featured; what they
eat, where they live, and what makes them unique! Children will
get the chance to meet our animal ambassadors periodically
throughout the week.
Frontier Fun (5-6
yrs.)
Ever
wondered what life on the High Desert frontier was like? Well,
here’s your chance! Featuring our exhibits and 1880s
Homestead, children will get the opportunity to explore the
culture and stories of the High Desert by examining artifacts
and doing authentic, hands-on pioneer games, chores, and
activities!
Picture the World (7-9
yrs.)
There are
lots of different ways to look at the world around you, and
through the lens of a camera is one of the best (and most fun)!
In this class, children will spend the week exploring nature
through photography.
Dig It! (7-9
yrs.)
In this
archaeology-inspired class kids can uncover cool artifact
replicas from a frontier town at an outdoor simulated dig pit.
They’ll use real archaeological tools and methods and
might just formulate a hypothesis or
two!
Desert Dwellers (7-9 yrs.)
BOTH SESSIONS SOLD OUT
Learn all
about the inhabitants of the High Desert in this
‘wildly’ fun class! Go behind the scenes at our
wildlife habitat exhibits and learn how to prepare food for
animals as well as create playful activities that keep the
animals healthy and happy. Be prepared to encounter raptors,
reptiles, and mammals!
