SUMMARY:Nature Club
DESCRIPTION:Over 9 sessions beginning in September and running through May\, the members of Nature Club will work together to create a map of an uncharted piece of the Clifton Institute and build a trail that runs through it. The project 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. Nature Club will meet on the first Saturday of each month 1-3PM on the following dates: \nSeptember 3 \nOctober 1 \nNovember 5 \nDecember 3 \nJanuary 7 \nFebruary 4 \nMarch 4 \nApril 1 \nMay 6- Unveiling Party! \nCost: $90 ($72 for Friends of the Clifton Institute) \n\n\nAge: Youth grades 7-12; 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). Please check your email for updates on the morning of the event. \n\n\nCOVID-19 Information: This program will be entirely outdoors (an outside port-o-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. No refunds will be given upon registrant cancellation. \n\n\n\nBy registering for this event\, you are affirming that you have read and agree to our liability release policy. \n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you at the Clifton Institute!

For example\, in the past we studied vultures\, bird eggs and nests\, leaf identification\, beaver dams\, and more. We will repeat some topics from the 2021-2022 school year\, but we will approach them from a new angle or do a new activity\, so we invite returning and new Nature School students alike to sign up! Nature School will take place every other Wednesday from 9Am to 12 noon on the following dates: September 7\, September 21\, October 5\, October 19\, November 2\, November 16\, November 30\, December 14\, January 4\, January 18\, February 1\, February 15\, March 1\, March 15\, March 29\, April 12\, April 26\, and May 10. \nRegistration Notes: *If you are purchasing tickets for multiple students\, please write all of their names together in the same box\, i.e. “Sam\, Martie\, and Alex Bradshaw” when registering.  The form does not give you separate spaces to enter different names for each ticket.* Please also note that we are changing the age range for Nature School from K-5 to Grades 1-5. Thank you for your understanding! \n\nCost: $180 ($145 for Friends of the Clifton Institute) \n\n\nAge: Children in grades 1-5\, drop-off only. \n\n\nBring: Please bring a small backpack packed with a full water bottle and snack.

SUMMARY:Piedmont Polliwogs
DESCRIPTION:Piedmont Polliwogs is a monthly program for pre-K children that includes a lesson on a different topic every month\, story time and short nature walk. As of fall 2022\, we are changing registration for Polliwogs: instead of signing up month to month\, you can sign up for a whole series of monthly programs. This will help us keep better track of registrations and plan appropriately for each session. The series will take place on the second Thursday of each month from 10 to 11:30 on the following dates: September 8\, October 13\, November 10\, December 8\, January 12\, February 9\, March 9\, April 13\, and May 11. \nWe understand that you may have children outside the 2-5-year-old range that need to come along with you to Polliwogs. You are welcome to keep them with you or for them to entertain themselves during the class. It is also fine with us if slightly older children participate. When you register below\, please register and pay for the number of children you expect to participate in the class each month. \nRegistration Notes: *If you are purchasing tickets for multiple students\, please write all of their names together in the same box\, i.e. “Sam\, Martie\, and Alex Bradshaw” when registering.  The form does not give you separate spaces to enter different names for each ticket.* Please also note that we are changing the age range for Nature School from K-5 to Grades 1-5. Thank you for your understanding! \nCost: $90 per child ($75 for Friends of the Clifton Institute) \nAge: Children ages 2-5\, accompanied by a caregiver \nBring: Please bring a snack and drink. There will be a snack break. \nWeather policy: Rain or shine except in case of extreme weather (e.g. thunderstorm or significant snow fall). \nCOVID-19 Information: This program will be entirely outdoors (an outside porta potty will be available). 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.). \nRegistration is REQUIRED. \nCancellation policy: If you register and can no longer attend this series\, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can open your spot to someone else.
