This year, 3-to 5-year olds can take advantage of August Mini Camp weekdays, the mornings of Monday, Aug. 11 through the Friday, Aug. 22. Participants will have fun with science and nature and come away amazed by their discoveries as they explore the meadow, pond and forest, and learn about turtles, bugs, flowers, trees and everything else they find around the trails.
In early September, families can visit Sheldrake on Saturday mornings for Family Weekends.
In "Seeds, Seeds, Seeds," they’ll find all sorts of seeds that will turn into next year’s flowers and trees.
On Saturday, Sept. 13, patrons can participate in "Who Lives at Sheldrake" with a Sheldrake naturalist as their guide, they’ll learn where and how the animals who live at the Conservancy make their homes.
