Pop Up: Busy Birds

Details:

Celebrate spring with a day spent outside discovering the busy world of birds! Campers will explore signs of the season through spring-themed scavenger hunts, learn about the birds beginning their journeys back to Maine, and keep their eyes and ears open for wildlife along the way. Date: Friday, March 19th Time: 9:00AM-3:00PM Where: Gilsland Farm, Falmouth Best For: Grades K-3rd Maximum Group Size: 10 With plenty of time for play, exploration, and curiosity, we’ll make our own bird feeders, look for signs of migration, and discover what makes spring such an exciting time for birds and other local wildlife. Come spend the day outside, make new friends, and welcome the new season with us! Our programs take place outdoors, giving kids plenty of time to move, explore, play, and connect with the natural world. By staying outside, we minimize time spent in vehicles and maximize time immersed in the places we visit. Each program is shaped by the season and location. Small group sizes allow our educators to get to know each child and adapt the day to individual needs, group energy, weather, and changing conditions. Building confidence, independence, curiosity, and connection is at the heart of what we do. We believe that experiencing the outdoors in a variety of weather helps kids become more capable and comfortable outside, so we venture out rain or shine whenever conditions are safe. Families will receive more detailed information and a packing list approximately one week before the program. We work with caregivers to help ensure each child arrives prepared with appropriate clothing, footwear, food, and gear for a full day outdoors. The nature of an outdoor program means that some circumstances are outside of our control. We carefully monitor weather forecasts and make real-time decisions based on current conditions, location, and risk assessment. In the event of severe or unsafe weather, a program may be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance and refunds will be issued. There is no rain make-up date.
