About this Event

We’re so excited to kick off a winter full of adventure with OAK at The North Carolina Arboretum, starting in January 2026! Our expert environmental educators are thrilled to continue this weekday drop-off program, where kids (ages 6-13) are encouraged to play, learn, and explore together in an outdoor environment where they take the lead. In the past, OAK participants have made natural dyes with collected plants, gone geocaching, explored our ponds and streams, and practiced fire building, among many other exciting activities. We can’t wait to see what new and fun learning experiences await us in the upcoming season!

Our 2026 Winter session runs for five weeks, from January 16th to February 13th. Each Friday program runs from 12:30 - 4:30pm.
