Afterschool at Joppa: Creatures of the Night!

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. This program is open to children in grades 1 through 4. Parents… Show more are welcome but not required to stay during this program. Fall Series I October 3: Investigate the Intertidal Zone!
