Students will utilize tactile materials such as seeds, tree rounds, dried herbs, or pinecones for a sensory-friendly experience with nature. Educators can choose the program focus based upon the needs of their students. Programs that explore plants, trees, or career options are available. Ages 5-18.

This introductory program is intended for groups in need of a slower pace or extra accommodations. Longwood educators will adapt activities based on student abilities.
