SUMMARY:FIND 2026 (MORNING PROGRAM)
DESCRIPTION:FISHERS ISLAND NATURE DISCOVERY\n2026 – The 7th Year of FIND\nA Week (5 DAYS from 9 AM to NOON) of Learning Programs for Young Island Naturalists Ages 5 to 10. \nFIND offers a week of learning programs for young Island naturalists on a variety of environmental topics relating to the natural history and stewardship of our Island.\nUsing the Ferguson Museum as a base\, the programs provide an indoor/outdoor learning experience that introduces our children to the Island’s natural resources and some of the challenges faced in maintaining its fragile ecology. Led by educators\, the children discover the Island’s natural history through a combination of hands-on exploration\, observation\, and interpretation. \nWHEN: The 2026 FIND program will run for one week from August 17 to August 21; Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to noon. To promote group cohesion and learning\, we encourage all participants to attend all five sessions. \nWHO: 20 children max\, all between the ages of 5 to 10. Depending on numbers\, attendees will either be in one group\, or split into two groups by age. \nEach group will be led by educator/s from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center (DPNC) or the Niantic Children’s Museum\, assisted at times by Museum staff and guest naturalists. \nWHERE: Outdoor locations will vary based on the daily plan\, but will include Fishers Island’s beaches\, woods\, and ponds. Indoor learning will take place at the Museum and will include art and science projects related to the daily subject matter. \nCOST: The cost per participant is $425 for the week. (Current FI School students can attend at no cost.) \nREGISTRATION: Please call the Museum (631-788-7239) or e-mail info@fergusonmuseum.org to reserve a spot for your child/children (and note the FIND program and the name and age of the attendee/s). The registration and payment form will then be sent to you. \nThis 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.
