Toddler Adventure Club South Jersey
What is the Toddler Adventure Club?
Embark on an exciting journey with your little explorer as we delve into the wonders of nature together. Our five-week series, starting this April, is designed to ignite curiosity, foster social connections, and create lasting memories for toddlers and their families.
Each week, we'll venture into fun and new locations such as nature centers, wildlife refuges, and farms across South Jersey, where our young adventurers will engage in nature-inspired learning, socialization, and exploration. Each session will begin with a location-appropriate welcome song, followed by sensory experiences, music, and interactive stories or activities tailored to the theme of the week. We'll then head out on a guided nature walk together and later explore each location and all it has to offer!
When is it?
The series begins on Sunday, April 7 and runs 5 weeks with our final session on Sunday, May 5. Each adventure begins at 9:30am and will conclude around 11am, but of course is flexible if you are having a great time and decide you want to stay longer (location dependent).
Who is it designed for?
The club is designed for toddlers walking through 2.5 years old. Given that we will complete a nature walk together, the walking part is an important part of the program. And the opening circle activities will be most aligned to toddlers 12 months and older. However, if you still would like to join and you have a baby that's mobile and not quite walking, that is totally your preference- we're happy to have you!
Given this is a Sunday event, any siblings of the toddler who are under the age of 5 can join us, as long as there is at least one toddler walking through 2.5 years old registered.
Where are the adventures?
- Sunday, April 7 - Scotland Run Nature Center in Williamstown, NJ
- Sunday, April 14 - Muddy Paws Farm Rescue in Southampton, NJ
- Sunday, April 21 - Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge in Medford, NJ
- Sunday, April 28 - Lots of Love Farm in Williamstown, NJ
- Sunday, May 5 - Rancocas Nature Center in Westampton, NJ
Please note: Nearly all of these locations are not normally open on Sundays at 9:30am, so I've organized private tours/arranged early openings as needed with several locations listed.
Cost?
Join the club for $60 per family (or $12 per adventure) to join us for each week's lesson and guided adventure. Drop-ins will be offered at $15 per family only if spaces are available.
Your admission costs are NOT included in the club price. Once registered, you will receive a separate email to collect payment for your individual admission prices. (Scotland Run is free, Muddy Paws is $10 per adult and children over 2 (under 2 is free), Cedar Run is $8 per adult, $3 per child 4-12, and children 3 and under are free, Lots of Love is $10 per person (adult or child, under 2 is free), and Rancocas is $5 per person (adult or child)... so for a family of 3 (with a child under 2) for example, you're looking at an additional $71 total.
Note RE: Absences: If you want to ensure you have a space in the club and pay for the series but know in advance, you will have to miss a certain week, just let me know when I'm collecting admission costs and you can opt out of admission costs for that week.
Once admission costs have been collected though, refunds will not be offered given the nature of scheduling private tours/early openings with each location.
