Students will go back in time with the center’s Apple Cidering program where they can use motor skills to prepare apples for crushing in the cider press. Other program options include learning about the life cycles and unique adaptions of butterflies, learning how to work together through cooperation and listening skills, and more. Activities include conducting outdoor experiences, collecting dates related to seasonal changes, brainstorming creative designs to meet real needs and wants, surveying plans and animal populations along a transect line, and more.
