Programs
The HNA Tiny Trailblazers program immerses toddlers (ages 18 months - 4 years) and their caregivers in the wonders of the natural world. This hands-on, sensory-rich experience uses nature-focused activity stations to spark joy, creativity, and enhance motor and language development. Little ones will discover the beauty of the outdoors through activities like creeking, sensory nature stations, and nature crafts.
This program gently introduces young children to social interactions, while providing adults with valuable insights into nature and child development. Along the way, participants will enjoy guided nature walks, storytelling on the Raines Crossing Bridge, snacks, and hands-on sensory activities based on the theme for the day. Join us for a delightful journey of exploration and growth in the great outdoors!
