Trail Time for Toddlers

Trail Time for Toddlers is a unique opportunity for children, ages 2-5, and their parents/guardians to make new friends while learning about nature through trail walks and themed indoor and outdoor activities.

Picking up where Trail Time for Toddlers leaves off, Swamp School continues nature-based education for kids ages 6-10.
