Family
Current research in the field of environmental education shows that when families pursue outdoor education together, learning is enhanced for all members of the family. MMA offers a variety of family classes and workshops through the summer Discovery program and throughout the year.
Program topics are based on season so at holiday time, the family could be making ornaments from nature’s bounty, in the windy season there are programs to learn about harnessing the wind, and walks in late winter and early spring focus on the antics of migrating birds and their courtship rituals.
Check our calendar regularly for the latest family-oriented programming.
If you can’t find the program to meet your developing interest, the MMA staff can help design one with you. Contact Janet Schulte for details at (508) 228-9198.
