Nature Play After-School Programs at The Green Center

Our "nature play" programs reconnect children to nature and offer them experiences to explore, discover and interact with the natural environment. Connecting children to nature has beneficial effects on a child's health, development and well being. Sign up your child for one, two or all of these programs!
