Bubolz Junior Naturalist Program!

Join us for our first Junior Naturalist Program!

This is a monthly afterschool drop-off program, running 6 months of the year.

Classes will vary topics based on season and will be both indoor and outdoor. This program is designed to supplement science curriculum and encourage learning outside of the classrooms for students interested in STEAM.

This program will give students hands-on time to explore various topics and habitats, while learning what it means to be a naturalist. Whether your student loves being outside, is thinking about a career in the natural sciences, or aged-out of our Homeschool and Camp programs, this is a great fit for all!

This program will require students to assist with 2 event or volunteer land management days, outside of class meeting times. Students will also be required to create an “end of the year” project to show off on the final day during Junior Naturalist Dinner with family.

Junior Naturalist Class Dates:

  • January 6th- What is a Naturalist? Careers in the Natural Sciences
  • February 3rd- Animal Ecology
  • March 3rd – Sap and Syrup making
  • April 7th- Land Management and Invasives
  • May 5th – Pond Study
  • June 3rd- Final Day and Dinner

Our Jr. Naturalist program is for ages 13-16. Ticket purchase includes a Bubolz Jr. Naturalist t-shirt!

There are no refunds for cancellations. Refunds will be issued for programs cancelled by Bubolz due to low registration. Minimum number of students required to run this program is 10.
