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.

June 2 - Mammals: Explore our fluffy friends at the park.

June 9 - Reptiles: Discover what makes a reptile a reptile.

June 16 - Amphibians: Are amphibians and reptiles the same?

June 23 - Insects: Not all tiny critters are creepy crawlies.

June 30 - Birds: Discover our amazing friends with feathers.
