Through games, stories, creative projects, experiments and lots of outdoor exploration, the children are introduced to the science of nature. <b>Nature Detectives</b> focus on activities designed to build strong foundations using STEAM as a vehicle to extensive, interactive investigations, indoors and out. Classes meet Monday through Friday from 9am to noon. The cost is $200 per week, and registration must be made for the entire week. Space is limited to 12 per class. Each week is diverse enough to engage the child who comes multiple weeks. A complete description of each week’s focus for Eco Explorers and Nature Detectives is available online at <a href="http://www.thorntonburgess.org"><b><span style='text-decoration:none'>www.thorntonburgess.org</span></b></a><b>. </b>Registrations are also to be made online.
