B'Earthday Parties

What better way to celebrate your child's birthday than to have a B'Earthday party at the Nature Center? Create a unique party for your children to celebrate their special day the natural way!

Your party will include:

  • Room rental for three hours

  • Dessert dishes, cups and utensils, if you wish.

  • An hour-long program led by a naturalist. Choose from one of the following:

  • Non-edible B'Earthday cake
    Ideal for 3-to-7-year-olds
    We'll celebrate by collecting naturally occurring ingredients from the outdoors to make a B'Earthday cake for our wild friends who live outside.

  • Scavenger Hunt
    Ideal for 7-to-12-year-olds
    We'll explore the marsh, field and forest of the Nature Center to find a list of items.

  • Letterboxing Parties in the woods

  • Seasonal Leaf Hunt - take home leaf rubbing

  • Seasonal Bingo outdoor trek

  • Animal Tracking

  • Shelter Building using "survivor" skills

Special Themes could include:

Bugs; flowers, leaves, seeds, bark (trees), animal homes (counting burrows, nests, etc.) animal tracks; food chain/web, seasonal scavenger hunt.  Discuss what your child's interest is with the naturalist leading your party.
