Nature Study
An Introduction to Nature for Elementary School Students
An Introduction to NatureThe Nature Study program at the Huyck Preserve introduces elementary school children to nature through a week-long, half-day program. Students learn about nature through exploration of our forest trails and streams. What animals and plants live in our forests, pond, and streams? The kids will find out! We use science-themed games and crafts to reinforce the basic concepts of ecology and environmental science we've discussed out in the woods.
Have your children attended Nature Study in the past? We hope they will return this year, as we offer new lessons and activities each year while bringing back popular favorites! Students attending one of the first two sessions are encouraged to also enroll in the combined K-5 class later in the summer. Students are also welcome to join that class as a stand alone. TuitionNature Study for each age group is $75 for Preserve Members, and $150 for Non-members. Programs can be paid for by check or cash in-person at the Preserve, or by credit or debit card online.
