Students, please bring:
  • folding chair, otherwise you can sit cross legged on the boardwalk.
  • hat and sunscreen
  • dress in layers (We don’t want the cold to be a reason for discomfort) 
  • gloves 
  • water to drink 
  • snack to eat
  • art materials provided
The weather is supposed to be really nice Saturday, 60 degrees!. But it won’t hurt to be prepared for cold or inclement weather. 
 
Note from instructor: “I’d like to ask the participants not to listen to anything on the drive up to the Nature Center. Drive in silence. I realize this is an odd request but it will prepare them to be more sensitive for the class.”
