kneehigh nature adventures
summer only
Kneehigh is a summer drop-off program at Sheep Pasture for young children ages 3 to 5 (or entering kindergarten). Your child will enjoy daily hikes, games, crafts, songs, and snacks with our pre-school naturalist. We had your little adventurer in mind with every program we designed. Each week will have a different theme and new activities, so kids can come to sessions throughout the summer and learn something new!
Kneehigh Nature Adventures is held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each session from 9 am - 11 am. Registration is for all three days of the session; individual days are not available. Once your child is registered you will receive an email with information on drop off and pick up, what to bring, and more.
*All children must be potty trained to attend. Each session requires a minimum of 5 children and a maximum of 10 children.
