Tinkering with Nature: Big Kids Program
Tinkering with Nature is the Big Kid version of Tinkergarten. It's a drop-off program for kids ages 7-12. Each season, we use nature play to work on a different skill critical to our kids' learning and ongoing development. Class sessions incorporate scavenger hunts, code breaking, and teamwork challenges.
