We’d like to extend a special thanks to the students of Madrone Trail Charter School for your awesome entries in The Caterpillar’s “Draw Your Own Bird” Contest! Congratulations to our winners: Abby Whitt and her class, whose drawings you can see here! The class will receive their own birdhouse from The Caterpillar.

The school year may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean The Caterpillar will be any less busy this summer! The big, green science-exploring machine is preparing exciting new activities designed to keep kids learning and exploring outside all summer long! This year’s program, “Exploring Nature with Kids,” is proud to present four week-long nature day camps run by our dedicated staff of educators. Kids from ages 5 to 11 will learn about “The Music of Nature,” discover the identities of “The First Campers” in our region, and explore “Nature in Your Backyard.” We’ve even partnered with Imagine That Creative Children’s Center for “The Wonders of Nature Preschool Camp,” a program especially designed for 4 to 6-year-olds. For more information and to learn how to enroll, please visit our Current Nature Camps page. See you this summer!
