Summer Programs at the Bob Jones Nature Center

Turn off your screens and head outside for summer adventures at the Bob Jones Nature Center!

Summer programs at the Bob Jones Nature Center offer exciting and educational nature experiences for kids of all ages.

Pollination Station – Preschool

Join our group of explorers as we learn how insects help our planet. We will learn about pollinators and the job they do to help nature create food for humans. After a fun introduction to entomology (the study of insects), we will create models of winged and terrestrial insects. We will also do observations of nature in the grassy areas. We will not capture insects, and we will respect their habitat.

Date: June 10 – 14
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Resident Fee: $146
Non-Resident Fee: $183
Ages: 3 – 5
