Rewild Child - Fall '24

Program Description:
Rewild Child is a fun-filled adventure for Pre-K and Kindergarten kids! Our program lets children explore the forest, play freely, and fall in love with nature. They’ll boost their cognitive skills, motor development, focus, confidence, and physical activity while making friends and building resilience.

Special Instructions:
• Wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes/boots that are good for walking, ok to get muddy and wet, and are appropriate for the weather forecast. (Be sure to pack a coat or jacket when needed)
• We recommend an extra pair of socks, pants, and shirt (we've had muddy kiddos in the past!)
• Pack a snack for children to eat during the program.
• We recommend including these items in a bag: a reusable water bottle, a small towel, sunscreen and/or bug spray (if needed).

Weather Note:
• HNA Nature Classes are all about embracing the natural world - even if it's a little hot, cold, or wet!
• In the event of significant inclement weather, HNA classes will typically be moved indoors or rescheduled or canceled.
• Weather decisions will be made on the day of the class and communicated via email.
