Monday Mountain Explorers
April 28 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Please note: This month’s Monte Sano program will meet at the Cleermont Trailhead, not the Bankhead Trailhead.
Families with elementary aged children are invited to attend these homeschool enrichment program events focused on exploring the natural environment to develop a connection to the land, to wildlife and to each other. We will learn about Alabama’s biodiversity and natural resources through weekly seasonal nature-based themes.
We will read literature together to spark curiosity about the natural world; we will discover and explore our natural environment together through walks and family-led activities; we will introduce the concept of field journaling as a way to capture our discoveries; and ultimately we will foster community through interactions in our natural environment.
Additional Notes:
- Please dress appropriately and bring your own water/snacks for a short hike.
- Participants will be provided with a field journal; participants are encouraged to keep the field journal and bring to future events.
- Families are invited to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after the event.
Ages: Elementary aged children (ages 5-11) and their caregivers
Leader: Susan Fleck
Location: Monte Sano Nature Preserve (Cleermont Trailhead)–603 Cleermont Dr SE, Huntsville, AL 35801
