Project wild workshops

FOR TEACHERS OF AGES 3 TO 7

We do a free three-hour workshop, called "Growing Up WILD," for pre-school and early childhood teachers or for anyone who would like to learn some fun and educational outdoor activities to do with wee ones. At the end of the three hours, you receive the FREE activity guide, Growing Up WILD: Exploring Nature with Young Children Ages 3-7

If you can gather a group of 10 people who are interested in the workshop and in getting the free guide, call Kay at 362-2777 or email her at kay.gannon@state.sd.us to see about setting up a Monday night session for your group.
