• 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 packing 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.

• HNA Nature Classes are all about embracing the natural world - even if it's a little hot, cold, or wet!
