PINE RIVER — Happy Dancing Turtle is offering classes in September for 4- and 5-year-olds to learn about sustainability and nature appreciation.
The classes begin Monday, Sept. 11, and continue the second and fourth Mondays through Nov. 27. The Tiny Turtles program offers children time to explore the natural world around them at the Hunt Utilities Group Resilient Living Campus in Pine River.
“Learning and playing together as a group outdoors enhances the experience for everyone,” stated Program Coordinator Michelle Hoefs in a news release. “We learn about plants, animals and their habitats, and more!”
Classes are entirely outdoors from 10-11 a.m. each class date. Kids must be dressed for the weather each day, whether that means mud boots and raincoats or full winter gear.
The season will be changing over the scheduled class dates, which are Sept. 11 and 25, Oct. 9 and 23, Nov. 13 and 27. The fee is $30 per child. For more information or to register, visit happydancingturtle.org/tiny-turtles or contact Hoefs at 218-587-2303 or info@happydancingturtle.org.
Happy Dancing Turtle is a nonprofit with a stated mission of growing good stewards of the planet by providing education, programs and experiences for youths and adults that inspire wonder and empower change.
