Class description

Acorn harvesting during our annual Session 2 acorn pancake celebration!

A unique program designed for this special age when everything is exciting and magical. Junior Ranchers will experience a holistic approach of the ranch including getting to know the animals, discovering our garden and making nature themed crafts. There will be ample time to enjoy unstructured nature play, exploration, and observation as well. Each session focuses on the ranch and our plants, farm animals, and wildlife through specialty crafts and activities that are aligned with seasonal and ecological activities on the ranch. These activities may include pottery, wild crafts, and more.
