Learn all about dinosaurs in this fun hands-on class. Explore the creatures of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous eras through fun hands-on projects and activities including the “Dino of the Day”.

Jr. Naturalist Club
NEW! JANUARY – FEBRUARY SESSION
Join our Outdoor Club as we listen to and look closely at the weather, trees, plants, and animals in our surrounding environment. Class focus is “experiential,” with participants learning through fun games, activities, and crafts that encourage use of all the senses. Children will be excited to share class projects they can use in their own yards and neighborhoods. Class content will include new material for returning naturalists.
Instructors are Certified California Naturalists who studied under Joseph B. Cornell (Sharing Nature Worldwide). Sessions will be led by a credentialed teacher who has 35 years of experience in elementary education.

Write to Calm: Covid-19 Emotions
Journaling has been shown to help overcome feelings of powerlessness, confusion, and anxiety. Journaling with others will help lower feelings of loneliness, invisibility, worry, and isolation. During this workshop you'll write to prompts related to the current pandemic. You’ll be invited to share some of your writing with the group if you choose. We will create a safe space to share our experiences related to this extraordinary time. This is not a therapy group, but rather a way to practice journaling as a proven source of stress-relief. No previous journaling experience is necessary.
