Minneapolis Parks: Curious About Nature (Gr. K-1)


After School Youth Classes / Dowling -
After School Youth Enrichment Winter 2026

Join a Naturalist from Minneapolis Parks to explore nature in your school yard! Each week we will investigate the curiosities we find, engage in experimentation, use tools to help us discover more, and enjoy time spent outside. Our explorations will offer opportunities for building skills in observing, describing, and collaborating with others through sensory and investigative experiences.

Partner Organization: Minneapolis Park and Rec Board

Sliding Scale Fee: To ensure that our high-quality enrichment classes are accessible to all families, Minneapolis Community Ed offers fees on a sliding scale.
