For the first time, the Lloyd Center for the Environment will be offering a new outdoor after school program for children ages six through ten this fall.

According to the center, the new Educators program will take advantage of outdoor classrooms as it provides STEM activities and lessons for students focused on habitat exploration, creature discoveries, and investigative wonders of the natural world.

The program will use hands-on games, activities, crafts, and trail walks that allow students to experience the natural world around them, whether exploring the sea, sky, forests, or ponds.

Registration is limited to nine students per week. The program will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday during the following weeks:

September 21 - September 25
September 28 - October 2
October 5 – October 9
October 12 – October 16 – No programs
October 19 – October 23
October 26 – October 30

The program costs $185 for members and $235 for non-members. Contact Lloyd Center Education/Outreach Specialist Ashley Gesner at ashley@lloydcenter.org or (774) 628-9241 to register.
