Foxes
​Ages 4-7

This group, co-led by Nature Connect and Crow Shield Lodge facilitators, will get your child exploring, running, playing, and noticing the changes in the forest. We'll ask questions and spend time learning about each other and the land around us. There will be stories, games, and time for imaginative play in the woods and meadows of Huron Natural Area.

Crows 
Ages 8-12

Crows are fascinating creatures. With keen eyes, they are highly observant and intertwined with the world around them. This forest school group, co-led by Nature Connect and Crow Shield Lodge facilitators, will connect to the land at Huron Natural Area. Your child will be a keen, crow-like observer too, playing games, exploring the woods, while getting to know others and themselves and our many connections.
