FISHERS ISLAND NATURE DISCOVERY (FIND)
A Week of Learning Programs for Young Island Naturalists Ages 7 to 11
FIND returns after a one-year absence with a myriad of environmental topics that pertain to the natural history and stewardship of our island!
Using the Ferguson Museum as a base, the programs will provide an indoor/outdoor learning experience that introduces our children to the Island’s natural resources and some of the challenges we face in maintaining its fragile ecology. Led by professional educators, the children will discover the Island’s natural history through a combination of hands-on exploration, observation, and interpretation.
WHEN: One week from August 16 – 20; Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon.
WHO: 20 children max, all between the ages of 7 to 11. Attendees will be split into two groups, one older and one younger. Each group will be led by two educators from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center, assisted at times by guest naturalists.
WHERE: Location will vary based on the daily plan, but will include Fishers Island’s beaches, woods, and bodies of water – utilizing the Ferguson Museum as a home base. Programs will split time indoors and outdoors and will include art and science projects related to the subject matter.
COST: $350/per participant for the week.
REGISTRATION: Please call the Museum (631-788-7239) or e-mail [email protected] to sign up your child/children. A registration form will be e-mailed to you.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INDICATED YOUR INTEREST IN SIGNING UP YOUR CHILD OR CHILDREN, PLEASE RECONFIRM.
This is a wonderful opportunity for young children to develop a love of nature and ecology through participatory learning both at the Museum and in the field.
