Little Saplings Nature Discovery Program

About this event

Do you have a little one who loves animals, nature, and the outdoors? Are you looking for opportunities to explore the outdoors together with your children? Join us for Little Saplings, Schramm Education Center’s early childhood nature discovery program. Little Saplings, a monthly program designed for children ages 2 – 5 and their adult caregiver, will bring nature themes to life for your child through story time, sensory activities, crafts, and outdoor exploration!

The series is held on the first Wednesday of every month from 9 – 10 am and 10 – 11 am (choose one time to attend). The cost to participate is $5 per child and $5 per adult per program and includes admission to the Education Center after the program. Schramm Family Pass members participate free. This is a drop-in program, so no registration is required. A State Park Vehicle Entry Permit is not required in the Schramm Education Center parking lot. For questions about the program, please contact Jen Ruyle, Outdoor Education Specialist, at or .
