SPECIAL SESSION: Saturday, July 15  |  10:00 – noon
For children ages 0-5 with parent or caregiver
Free (donations welcome) | A drop-in program (registration not required)

We are offering a special session of Robin’s Nest Nature Playgroup this Saturday to give families a break from flood cleanup and a chance to gather in community. Our Nature Playscape was undamaged by the flooding and is ready for play, and we’ll have lemonade and cookies for all. Don’t forget to bring your boots, things are still very muddy. Stop by before or after the Montpelier Farmer’s Market (9 am – 1 pm at the College Green) or come for the whole two hours!

Robin’s Nest Nature Playgroup is a free activity for families to gather, learn, and play in nature. Guided by the idea that children need to spend ample time outdoors, we offer a community experience in the world of nature and will model ways the natural environment can be used as a tool for learning and play.

Engaging with nature’s seasonal offerings stimulates curiosity and a sense of wonder while fostering self-confidence and empathy for all living things. Join us for 2 hours of spontaneous play, exploration, discovery, song, nature inspired crafts, and oral storytelling.

• Play, dig, build and grow alongside your child
• Learn how to stay comfortable while getting messy in any weather
• Connect with other families with young children

This program is entirely outside, so be prepared with water, snacks, and clothing for staying warm and getting wet!

Robin’s Nest Nature Playgroup is made possible in part by donations and is sponsored by Hunger Mountain Coop and National Life Group.
