Westmoreland Sanctuary is proud to announce new experiential programming that will integrate the natural world with art and drama. Giving children an opportunity to learn to appreciate the environment at a younger age will help build a stronger bond to the natural world as they grow. These classes will be taught by special art and drama instructors brought into Westmoreland to enhance our programming to a wider audience. These instructors will work with Westmoreland’s experienced environmental education staff to bring nature together with art and drama.
We will be offering two 6 week programs for pre-school age children. Dramamammas Animalia and Bringing Nature Indoors Winter Art Class designed for 3-5 year olds. We are also offering two new afterschool programs for older age groups. Art in Nature for ages 7-10 and Theater Games and Improv Class for ages 9-14.
Along with our new art and drama classes, Westmoreland will be offering its popular Nature Afterschool Program on Thursdays for 8 weeks. Students will be hiking, observing wildlife, discover how to identify animal tracks, winter plant life and learning about our live animal ambassadors. This program is for grades K-5.
