Nature's Theater offers a wonderful opportunity for our children to integrate two of their favorite activities - exploring the outdoors and engaging in theatrical arts. During this program, children will have the chance to visit The Farm and use that experience as inspiration to design puppets for a puppet show. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to partake in various hikes around the natural surroundings of The Links, along with other activities that allow them ample time to create their own unique puppets. At the end of the week, the children will delight their families with a special puppet show performance.
