Budding Explorers: Reptile Encounters - Suggested for ages 8 to 10 years old.
Calling all explorers! Join us for this exciting, hands-on program to learn about snakes and other reptiles!
Youth participants, accompanied by an adult, will step into the role of junior herpetologists as they learn about snake adaptations, debunk snake myths, and practice identifying snakes of North Carolina. Participants may also have the opportunity to observe live reptiles up close with a special guest presenter.
You'll also get an introduction to ecoEXPLORE, an incentive-based community science program developed by The North Carolina Arboretum. By making real-world observations and completing fun challenges, youth participants can earn badges and prizes throughout the year.
There is no need to have an ecoEXPLORE account prior to this program in order to participate. Program begins at the Visitor Center. Come dressed for the weather as this program will be held partly outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, activities will be moved inside.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to equip your budding explorers with the knowledge and tools to continue (or begin!) their science journey.
