Little Rangers
Rugged Research offers early childhood (Ages 3-6) weekly adventure classes in nature to have fun, explore and play!
Little Rangers will learn from Park Rangers, Naturalists and Environmental Educators how to become inquisitive and caring towards nature to start developing the building blocks of environmental stewardship.
We believe that purposeful exploration is fundamental to a child's growth and development. Our program is designed to help children explore and discover.
Nature based education taps into children's sense of wonder and compliments all learning styles.
Sessions will take place at several beautiful parks to experience seasonal changes in different Colorado ecosystems. Little Rangers will run, jump, get a little muddy and connect with the natural world all while having a blast!
Some themes we'll cover:
-
Water in our World!
-
Animals Around Us
-
In Our Sky
-
BUGS!
-
Leaves of the Fall
-
Rocks Rock!
Weather:
Our classes run through all types of weather, making rain, snow, and sun all a part of our learning and play. If dangerous weather is in the forecast families will be informed if the class needs to be postponed and we will likely have the class that upcoming weekend instead.
Ages:
All classes are for children ages 3-6.
* Little ones ages 2 and under are allowed to tag along at no extra cost.
Location:
Each class meets at a different location. Each season will take place at some of the most beautiful parks and open spaces that Northern Colorado has to offer! Specific meeting points within the parks will be emailed out each week before the class but we will usually meet at the main trailhead.
*Guardian must be present for program
