The After-School Nature Club at the Zionsville Nature Center gives kids ages 6 to 12 a monthly after-school adventure with outdoor exploration, games and hands-on activities. It is a drop-off program, though parents are welcome to stay nearby.
Each session has its own topic, from dissecting owl pellets to building shelters from natural materials and searching for the places insects go in winter. Registration is required. The November session costs $5 for residents and $7 for nonresidents; sessions from December on cost $7 for residents and $9 for nonresidents.
