Chickadees: Winter Homeschool Series for Young Explorers

Description

Over six Wednesday mornings, you and your four- or five-year-old will hunt for the sights, sounds, and even tastes that show up at Ipswich River in the coldest months.

Together, hike in the woods, find and build animal homes, watch the birds that stay all winter, and track how the trees change as the days grow shorter. Each session builds on the last, so by February you will both know this place in winter the way few visitors do.

An adult stays with their child for the whole series, which makes this a shared discovery rather than drop-off.

Checking registration status.
