Spring Nature and Gardening in Prospect Park!
We offer school pick-ups!
Registration now open!
Kids will discover rare plants and amazing animals in Prospect Park! We will visit the highest point in Prospect Park and kids will learn to make bird calls as they watch thousands of birds return for the great spring migration over our Atlantic flyway. We learn the difference between the snapping turtle, the painted turtle and the invasive red-eared slider. We learn that invasive plants make great snacks, and jumping worms definitely don’t. We use invasive plants to make mason bee homes, musical instruments and some pretty crazy salads. As the weather warms, kids will visit nearby community gardens and plant and bring home both edible and air-cleaning plants..
GRADES: K - 5.
Older kids will have more challenging activities. In order to make sure younger kids do not feel left out or overwhelmed, we recommend kindergarteners sign up with a buddy. Or we can have a quick introduction on Zoom to allow your child to meet us before the first pick-up. We will keep classroom buddies, siblings and similar age groups together. Parents and babysitters also have the option of dropping children off at the park, including pod drop-offs.
TRANSPORTATION:
We pick kids up from schools and school bus stops and walk them to Prospect Park. Parents also have the option of dropping kids off to Prospect Park.
