Nature Explorers (*Most popular program for students of all ages!)

Let’s explore the wonderful, mysterious world of nature! Using all of our senses we’ll search out nature’s secret corners discovering creatures large and small. We’ll take a nature walk, explore Makiki stream and look for insects in the meadow. Ages 5 and up, adults always welcome.

Incredible Insects

Are cockroaches and ants good for anything? (Come find out!) Why do dragonflies dip their tails into water? Do millipedes tickle when they walk on your hand? Find the answers to these questions and others by tromping through a forest, digging in the soil and exploring in a meadow to find insects, bugs and spiders. Ages 7 and up, adults always welcome.

Makiki Valley Hikes

Venture the valley trails of Makiki discovering fungus and moss, birds and bugs while exploring Hawaii’s “upside-down” rainforest. Ages 7 and up, adults always welcome.
