Pop Up: Moon and Tides

Details:

Join us for a full day of outdoor exploration on the coast! We’ll learn about the relationship between the moon and tides, explore the shoreline, and discover how the changing ocean shapes the places and ecosystems around us. With plenty of time for play, adventure, and enjoying one of our favorite outdoor settings, it’s the perfect way to spend a day off from school. Date: Wednesday, November 11th Time: 9:00AM-3:00PM Where: Fort Williams, Cape Elizabeth Best For: Grades K-2 Maximum Group Size: 10 Our programs take place outdoors, giving kids plenty of time to move, explore, play, and connect with the natural world. By staying outside for the full day, 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.
