SUMMARY:Nature Play Afterschool
DESCRIPTION:Nature Play Afterschool \nwith Jeff Mazur\nGrades 2 – 4\nWednesdays\, 3:30 – 5:30 PM\nSeptember 4 – December 18 (Extended day (1 PM) on October 23\, no program November 27)\nFee per Child: Tier A-$487 | Tier B-$406 | Tier C-$345  | Tier D-$264\nLimited to 12 participants \nHitchcock’s Nature Play Afterschool Program is designed to let kids be kids. Together we will run\, jump\, climb\, invent\, imagine\, play and be free-range kids all while developing self-confidence and learning valuable social skills. During Fall Nature Play we will explore wooded trails and fields\, jump in leaf piles\, build forts\, climb trees\, and make new discoveries about ourselves and the world around us. Our instructors provide a safe setting for children to explore nature and encourage children to stretch their limits. For those parents deciding between the junior and nature play programs\, the latter often travels further and is away from the Hitchcock Center’s play yard longer.
