Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) invites families to a special program for kids at the Kellogg Environmental Center on Saturday, July 2 from 10 a.m. to11:30 a.m.
Adults with children ages four and older are invited to attend and help their young children engage in outdoor exploration through stories, activities and a craft.
The program will begin at the Kellogg Environmental Center where participants will be encouraged to see and touch natural objects related to things found on our trails, the pond and in the park.
Preschool educator, Miss Tina, will lead everyone on an outdoor nature walk focused on children using questioning skills and observations to answer the question, “What has been here?”
Please come dressed for walking outdoors and the weather. After the exploration participants will return to the center to share finds and enjoy a snack.
Upon conclusion of the program, families are invited to picnic on the grounds, visit the Osborne Homestead Museum located onsite, or hike the trails of Osbornedale State Park to further enjoy the day.
There is no fee to participate in the program, but donations are greatly appreciated. Registration is required to help plan for materials. Kellogg Environmental Center is located at 500 Hawthorne Ave., Derby.
