Program Overview:

Join Riverbend educators every Wednesday morning starting at 10:30am for a fun, preschool-friendly nature-based program that includes a story, a craft, a nature activity and a “hike” around our preserve. Every week we’ll gather in Riverbend’s Snider Barn to begin the fun!

Program Details:

  • This program is one hour each week and is designed for children ages 2-5. A caregiver must accompany each child. Siblings under 2 are welcome at no additional charge. 
  • Two six-week sessions will be offered in the winter and the spring of 2023. The cost is $120 per child for each six-week session. Enrollment is capped at 12 participants. The final meeting of every session will include a campfire and s’mores.
