Desert Rat Club participants will explore the flora, fauna, and geology of the natural world on a slightly more sophisticated level than the Critter Club. Kids will learn about the desert region and grow to appreciate nature through walks, journaling, careful observation, and experimentation. Emphasis will be placed on encouraging the children to think like a scientist as we explore the natural world. Ages 7 to 10. Class size limited to 12 children.
