Kendall County fall nature programs for kids begin in August

The Kendall County’s Hoover Forest Preserve will host new nature programs for children ages 2 through fifth grade.

Babes in the Woods is a one-hour program designed for children to discover nature through stories, nature hikes, crafts, games, and more. Held monthly in August, September, October, November and each month we will explore a different theme. For children 2-5 years old, and all four months are now available.

Afternoon Adventures is a science education program designed for children who enjoy hands-on learning and outdoor adventure. Each small class of students engages in cooperative, inquiry-based learning, guided by professionally trained educators.

The majority of the program takes place outdoors, taking advantage of the many habitats at Hoover Forest Preserve throughout the seasons.

The 12-week program takes place on Monday afternoons, Sept. 8 through Dec. 8.

Wandering in the Woods is a six-week after school program for for children in grades one through five.

Each small class of students engages in cooperative, inquiry-based learning, guided by professionally trained educators.
