Fall Programs


Muddy Tots
Muddy Tots

This program offers a special opportunity for young children to explore the wonders of learning through outdoor play at the picturesque Veterans Memorial Park and Mooney Carrese Forest. Children will engage in nature-based arts and crafts, discover exciting book-themed activities, and enjoy hands-on exploration of the forest’s beauty. Expect little hands to get dirty, clothes to become delightfully muddy, and hearts to be filled with the joy of connecting with nature right in our community’s backyard!
