About this Event
Join us with your little ones as we explore the wonders of the natural world together!
Nature Sprouts is a gentle, engaging introduction to outdoor discovery for toddlers and their caregivers, designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and joy through hands-on experiences in nature.
Each session includes story time, sensory play, guided outdoor exploration, and simple activities that help children interact with the world around them in age-appropriate ways. The program is relaxed, welcoming, and encourages caregivers to participate alongside their child.
Programs meet in St. Francis Hall and run from 10:00–11:30 AM. Families are welcome to stay afterward to continue exploring, play outside, or enjoy lunch on the grounds.
Thursday, July 23rd: Paws & Claws
Raccoons are curious, clever, and a little mischievous — just like us! Join us as we learn about these masked bandits: what they eat, how they use their hands to explore, and where they hide in the woods. We will imitate raccoon movements, practice “sneaking” quietly, and try simple raccoon-inspired activities. We will create cute snacks and read a story, reflecting on the love for God’s clever creatures!
