The Forest Ecology Preserve is always offering various programs for children and adults alike. They are especially active in the summer with things such as Summer Ecology Camps. I hear that these camps fill up very quickly so it's best to sign up as soon as possible. Also, I believe members of the Preserve are given early sign-up and last I looked membership was very reasonable.
