Join us as we explore the magic of agriculture right in the orchard! We will discover the fascinating ways different fruits grow from tiny blossoms into delicious treats, followed by a cozy reading of the book How Does My Fruit Grow?. Afterward, the adventurers will head into the bushes to pick fresh, juicy blueberries to fill their containers—and we will cap off the day by enjoying our harvest topped with fluffy whipped cream and colorful sprinkles!

Get ready for an immersive journey into the wild spaces of Wethersfield! This week, Adventurers will explore the trails to observe the unique plants and animals that call the Wethersfield home. Equipped with their own sketchbooks and colored pencils, the kids will practice the art of nature journaling by drawing the leaves, insects, tracks, and wildlife they discover along the way.

This week, Adventurers will become mini-botanists as we dive into the fascinating world of flora! We will explore the vibrant formal gardens and step inside the estate greenhouse to see where the magic begins. Equipped with magnifying glasses, the kids will get a close-up look at nature by carefully dissecting flowers to examine petals, stems, and pollen up close. To wrap up the adventure, everyone will roll up their sleeves to plant their very own seeds in dirt and containers to take home and watch grow!

Get ready to make a splash as we investigate the busy, hidden world of Wethersfield's ponds! This week, Adventurers will explore our ponds with small nets and containers to collect their very own water samples. Using magnifying glasses, we will get an up-close look at the tiny aquatic plants and curious creatures living just beneath the surface, working together to identify our discoveries.

Adventurers will become art detectives as we explore the magnificent grounds of Wethersfield! Equipped with a set of visual clues, the kids will head out on a thrilling hunt to track down 5 specific, historic statues hidden throughout the estate. As we find each masterpiece, we will discuss its name, the story behind it, and what it represents. To wrap up our artistic adventure, everyone will put on their sculptor hats and use modeling clay to mold and design their very own 3D masterpieces to take home!

Let's celebrate our incredible summer of adventures! We will spend the day enjoying exciting outdoor games, sharing our favorite stories from the summer, making commemorative crafts with some delicious, well-deserved treats in the sunshine. It’s the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable season of exploring together!
