Sugarbush Spring Children's Program

Join reading specialist Mary Grey 2:30-4pm Sunday, March 3 at the Schrader Center in Oglebay for a reading of the children’s book Sugarbush Spring by Martha Wilson Chall.

Hear the story of why trees give their ‘extra’ this time of year. Then, take a short hike to listen to the sap drip and smell the maple steam. Finally, taste the sweet tea of Jack-Wax, hot maple syrup hardened over snow cones.

Meets at the Children’s Library inside the Schrader Center.

$8 ($7 OI members). Register online or call 304-242-6855.

Explore nature as a family…

Replace your child’s screen time with green time! Our family nature programs bring families together for quality time learning about nature. So, get outside and explore! Activities ignite children’s interests in science and nature. Children socialize with other kids outside of a traditional classroom setting. They have a lot of fun, too. And parents meet and connect with other parents. Most of all, our programs instill a lifelong appreciation and respect for the natural world.
