Nature Detectives is our fun-tastic summer program for 4 to 9 year olds and adults at Tideland Nature Center on Jekyll Island. Children are introduced to basic science concepts with animals, natural objects, crafts, puppets, stories, songs and nature walks. Children are encouraged to become nature detectives - to observe, smell, feel, and listen to the natural environment in an effort to understand it. More importantly, they learn why they should respect nature and the simple steps they can take to preserve it. Classes meet for 1 hour each week.
