Join us to make the prehistoric tool that helped humankind survive - the bow and arrow. Walk through the forest to find the right tree branches, whittle your sticks, and string them for a fun tool. (*Bow and arrow made will be just for fun, not actual hunting!)

Spend the afternoon with Uri trying out different fire building techniques including bow-drilling. Participants will make their own flint & steel fire by the end of the session!
Thursday, May 2 or Tuesday, May 7
Meet us out in the meadow overlooking the Hudson River for some time moving our bodies to the rhythm of nature and finding out all the ways that we are just like trees, grasses, birds, deer, and so much more!
Thursday, May 9th or Tuesday, May 14th
Come play some buzzing games, and experience the life of the bees living at Lenoir Preserve. End the day with sweets provided by the bees! Check out Julia’s vast knowledge of pollination, and get ready to meet the bees (safely!) in person!

Learn to identify foods you can eat right in our backyards! Identify, prepare and eat some wild edibles around the campfire together!

Creep quietly through the forest looking for movement, then stealthily ready, aim, and shoot some pics to capture the moment.
