Homeschool students and those looking for extra enrichment opportunities, are invited to join educators from Tenafly Nature Center, Teaneck Creek Conservancy, and Flat Rock Brook as we introduce the principles of Winter Survival! Each day, during this 3 day series, students will have the chance to explore a new habitat as we practice using the survival skills of building shelter, finding warmth, and orienteering. Students will have the opportunity to build a fire, make lean-to structures, and navigate their environment, while simultaneously learning about how other species use similar techniques to survive and thrive during the winter months.
Students will strengthen their knowledge and appreciation for the environment while exploring unique outdoor ecosystems in small socially distanced groups. Coronavirus precautions are in effect and students must wear masks at all times. Group sizes are strictly limited, so reserve your space today.
This is a drop off program intended for students aged 5-10. Students should wear appropriate outdoor gear including hats and gloves, sturdy closed-toe footwear, and masks. Rain or shine; the program will take place outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, the program may be cancelled or rescheduled.
Please no hand-held devices. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
Session 1 will be held from 10:00 am to 11:30 am on Tuesday, December 1st (at Teaneck Creek Conservancy), Wednesday, December 2nd (at Tenafly Nature Center) and Thursday, December 3rd (at Flat Rock Brook).
