Just as caterpillars grow and change, our Caterpillar Club programs are designed to help your little one grow and change. Each week, we will have you and your child(ren) exploring our natural world through a variety of seasonally appropriate, hands on activities that will foster children's inborn sense of wonder and curiosity. These experiences are gauged towards early childhood (3-5 years old), but of course, all family members are welcome and encouraged to participate. Every program supports Virginia's Blocks for Early Learning.

March 3 - Exploring: Learn how to make your own adventure backpack to explore everywhere you go.

March 10 - Turtles: We have many types of turtles in Virginia. Learn about our shelled friends and maybe make a new one.

March 17 - Clovers: Why do we look for clovers on St. Patrick's Day? Come find out.

March 24 - Spring: Celebrate the start of spring with us.

March 31 - Bears: Find out more about the fuzzy omnivores we can find in Virginia.
