June Bugs

June Bugs is the Rye Nature Center’s popular program for preschoolers in those first early days of summer. Participants will use all five senses as they enjoy outdoor activities, nature education, arts and crafts, games, music, and stories. They will spend time on the trails of the Rye Nature Center as well as get to know our menagerie of animals.

June 11 - 15, 2012 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
June 18 - 22, 2012 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Registration by the day or week is available. The June Bugs program is for children aged 31⁄2 to 6 years who are completely toilet trained. With the indoor space available at the Rye Nature Center, June Bugs will run rain or shine.

LUNCH BUNCH OPTION
Children are divided into groups by age and are lead by one naturalist and one or two assistants. Most groups are limited to 12-15 children to maintain a low child-to-staff ratio. Space is limited for this eco-adventure so reserve your child’s spot early.

Registration begins January 20, 2012. Please download our registration form here.

Stay for a longer day! Lunch bunch option is available for those children who are ready to stay for a longer day. Lunch bunch program will run 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Children must bring a healthy lunch.
