Nature Detectives Club
Turn early release days into an adventure with Community Schools Outdoor Adventure Guides! In this high-energy class, young explorers will become official "Nature Detectives" through interactive games, wildlife storytelling, and hands-on crafts. Your child will learn how to protect animals, stick to the trail, and master the basics of Leave No Trace through pure, imaginative fun.
