Packrat Explorers (for children entering grades 1-3 in fall of 2023)  

Discover the many wonders of the Sonoran Desert as we explore the Museum grounds, scamper in a canyon, scramble through a cave, and play like a packrat. We’ll search for treasures, do science experiments, and uncover the amazing adaptations of desert animals and plants both on the grounds and in our classroom. Through up-close animal encounters, we’ll discover how arthropods, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals have different characteristics and behaviors that make each of these groups special. We’ll also create fabulous art projects, sing, make music, and enjoy desert stories. Join the fun! 

IMPORTANT! Kids need to bring their own snacks and lunch, water bottle, hat, and wear sturdy shoes and layered clothes for the weather. Please see the most up-to-date masking policy here.
