SUMMARY:Nature School: Spring Semester
DESCRIPTION:This series\, which takes place between January and May\, is a chance for young students to dip their toes into 10 different topics as we watch the land around us become green again! Each session will include time spent journaling\, learning about science\, and going on a hike. The younger group will also be read a story. \nStudents are expected to bring their own snacks\, water\, and backpack but all other materials will be provided. We will divide into two groups split roughly by age for most of the time\, to allow for students to engage in activities that are appropriately challenging. Therefore\, we ask that students come prepared for the possibility of being in a different group from their siblings. We also ask that children who are not yet in kindergarten or who will be uncomfortable being away from a caregiver participate in our Piedmont Polliwogs programs. We are outside for the duration of every session\, rain or shine\, so dress for the weather! \nWe will meet every other Wednesday from 9:00AM to 12:00PM on the following dates: \nJanuary 5 \nJanuary 19 \nFebruary 2 \nFebruary 16 \nMarch 2 \nMarch 16 \nMarch 30 \nApril 13 \nApril 27 \nMay 11 \n\n\nCost: $100 ($80 for Friends of the Clifton Institute) \n\n\nAge: Children in grades K-5\, drop-off only. \n\n\nBring: Water bottle\, snack\, and backpack. We also recommend a small towel\, seat pad\, or piece of tarp to sit on on the trail. \n\n\nWeather policy: Rain or shine except in case of extreme weather (e.g. thunderstorm or significant snow fall). \n\n\nCOVID-19 Information: This program will be entirely outdoors (an outside porta potty will be available). We require that everyone have a mask with them in case we need to go inside during inclement weather\, to administer first aid\, or for other reasons. Please do not attend if you are experiencing or have experienced in the last two weeks any symptoms associated with COVID-19 (fever\, cough\, shortness of breath\, etc.). \n\n\nRegistration is REQUIRED. \n\n\nCancellation policy: If you register and can no longer attend this event\, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can open your spot to someone else. No refunds will be given upon registrant cancellation. \n\n\nBefore attending this event\, please read the information included on our liability release form (click here). \n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you at the Clifton Institute! \n\n

SUMMARY:Nature Club
DESCRIPTION:We are changing up Nature Club!  Over 5 sessions beginning in January and running through May\, Nature Club will be focused on completing one\, big project.  Participants will work together to create a map of an uncharted piece of Clifton and build a trail that runs through it.  The season will culminate in an unveiling party for the new trail led by the students themselves.  This is a chance for interested\, motivated naturalists to discover corners of the property that not even the staff have seen!  We will focus on new skills each month including cartography\, compass-work\, and plant ID.  By working in the same patch of woods each session and watching it change with the onset of spring\, students will have the opportunity to feel deep connection to a piece of land.  All materials will be provided.  Dates below: \nSaturday\, January 8th (1-3PM) \nSaturday\, February 5th (1-3PM) \nSaturday\, March 5th (1-3PM) \nSaturday\, April 2nd (1-3PM) \nSaturday\, May 7th (1-3PM) – Unveiling Party! \nCost: $50 ($40 for Friends of the Clifton Institute) \n\n\nAge: Youth grades 6-12; this program is drop off only. \n\n\nWeather policy: Rain or shine except in case of extreme weather (e.g. thunderstorm or significant snow fall).
