Afterschool At Joppa: Endangered Species Alert!

Our afternoon starts off with self-guided activities, challenges, or puzzles that lead us to our topic for the day. As a group, we'll observe, investigate, and compare wildlife, their adaptations, and the changes that they undergo each season. Participants may play the role of an environmentalist, a naturalist, or even a marine biologist throughout this series. Each experience will leave your young scientist eager for the next session. And we always end with a tasty, thematic treat that the participants make!
This program is open to children in grades 1 through 4. Additional siblings: $10 for members, $14 for nonmembers. Parents are welcome to stay during this program.
