On Traveling Tuesdays, people learn *about* the world by being *in* the world. Primarily relying on WAVE Transit buses for transportation, the group visits local natural resources, cultural centers, and businesses.
The 6 hours consist of 90-120 minutes of programming with the rest of the time allocated to travel, games, arts & crafts, and outside time.
On the registration form, please indicate desired date(s).
Let The Shoals Center be your child's home-away-from-home this summer.
Monthly rates are structured to help facilitate a consistent friend group in a child-led, nature-inspired environment with lots of outside time, and facilitated by respectful caregivers.
While activities will be themed each week, The Shoals Center holds true to its belief that children need unstructured time to "just be." Send extra clothes if your child likes to get dirty!
In keeping with The Shoals Center's mission to help young people learn *about* the world by being *in* the world, Wild Wednesdays programming is taking to our local park to observe flora and fauna and live our best lives among the tees (and playgrounds!) with like-minded, welcoming peers.
Throughout July & August, we'll take advantage of what these incredible local natural resources have to offer: Hiking, swimming, climbing, fishing, paddle boating & more!)
Scholarship Fund
Whether you donate for 1 day or 1 week or even $1, we guarantee you won't find your funds used more efficiently anywhere.
The Waders Program is for people ages 3 - 6 (exceptions considered) and provides on-site care with a respectful guide who provides opportunities and invitations to learn based on the participants' interests.
A comfortable rhythm in a Montessori- and Nature-inspired environment allows for self-expression through open-ended, imaginative play, building, and arts and crafts.
Along with the main playroom, participants have access to The Resting Room and the Rainbow Room.
