Families, children and adults of all ages can enjoy new outdoor activities while visiting either St. Clement’s Island Museum or Piney Point Lighthouse Museum on select Saturdays of the month, August through December 2022.
These activities encourage visitors to explore nature and the outdoors through curiosity and play. Modeled loosely after “Forest School” learning styles in Denmark and Sweden, the Nature & Forest Play for All Ages Series encourages discovering nature through hands-on, tactile, “no right or wrong way to play” experiences.
