- DESCRIPTION: "Growing Up WILD and Free" is an early childhood workshop with engaging lessons that help build on a child's natural curiosity of wildlife and the world around them. Through a wide range of hands-on activities and experiences, this workshop provides an early foundation for developing positive impressions about nature all while instilling a sense of wonder and love of exploration. Growing Up WILD is a national early childhood initiative that builds literacy skills and environmental appreciation among early learners through participation in engaging wildlife-based educational activities. This workshop is suggested for teachers that work with ages 3-7, but all educators are welcome.
