This is a great fit for families who want an activity that gets kids outside while keeping them engaged with nature in a hands-on way.

Parents or guardians need to stay with their children throughout, so it is very much a shared experience rather than a drop-off program.

There is also a take-home project, which is a nice bonus for families who want the experience to continue after the program ends.
