2025-2026 Programs

Nature Stay and Play

Our Nature Stay & Play program brings learning to life outdoors using the Tinkergarten curriculum. Designed for children ages 1.5–8, each session offers hands-on, play-based experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and joy in the natural world.

As children grow through the program, they build a strong foundation in eight essential life skills—skills that help them become creative thinkers, caring community members, and confident problem-solvers ready to thrive in a dynamic world.

Through meaningful time outside, children enjoy the physical and mental benefits of outdoor play while developing resilience, independence, and a lifelong connection to nature.

Join us for fresh air, discovery, and unforgettable moments together. 🌿

Animal Architects **FULL**

In this engaging class, students will explore the fascinating world of animal shelters—the safe havens where animals find protection from weather, predators, and other dangers. We’ll investigate various types of shelters, including nests, burrows, dens, hives, and even human-made structures. Through hands-on activities, students will learn why animals need shelters and how these structures help them survive and thrive in their environments.  This is a drop-off class at UCF for children 5-10 years old.
