Description:

Registration opens 03/10 at 9:00 am.

Ages 5-11 (Kindergarten to Elementary school age) 

Field Trip Description: Kids will learn about the history of pottery traditions and their connection to the earth. We will take a nature hike to collect texturing materials for our pottery project and then visit Maverick Potter for a lesson. Each participant will create their very own piece of pottery.

Field trips are momentous times in a child’s life. It allows them to enjoy a change of scenery and spend time outside of the classroom doing more hands-on learning. Our goal is to provide children with an engaging and educational experience, giving them exposure to our community and its resources. Creating hands-on, memorable experiences.
