The Institute Presents Four Winter EXPLORE! Programs for Kids

Winter fun for kids is on tap in January and February with a new EXPLORE! program series from The Institute. Designed for kids in grades K to 5, the programs will run on Tuesdays, Jan. 24 & 31 and Feb. 7 & 14, from 4 to 5 p.m. at Pine Hill Recreation Area near Waynesboro, Pa.

All program activities are outside. Taught by Institute educators, each program includes educational activities related to the season.

First Session: Winter Fun and Fort Building    

Students will go on a guided “wondering walk” through the forest, and learn how humans keep warm in the winter. Students work together with others to gather a variety of natural materials like branches and leaves, and build a lean-to structure or fort, requiring collaborative creativity and teamwork. This program introduces STEM concepts through problem solving.
