First Full Moon Event
with Ruth Denys
Join Nature at Heart School, at Chimney Rock Park, for a magical evening under the first full moon of the year- the Wolf Moon!
Welcome in the new year with us with lots of howls under the Wolf Full Moon! We'll experience the social behaviors of a wolf pack. Then we'll explore evening life in the woods by going on a flashlight hike. After our movement in the woods, we'll gather around a fire pit to enjoy s'mores. We'll end our full moon event with the calming vibrations of sound bowls led by Ms. Rajvi.

"It’s truly unique and allows kids to experience learning in an entirely different way than what they are used to." - Nature Seeker Parent
Nature at Heart School's outdoor classes offer an opportunity to collaborate, wonder and explore in and with nature. Grown-ups drop off their child, ages 5-10, for this 75-minute class. The children will use their senses to actively learn about the local environment through guided and self-directed experiences. We provide materials such as magnifying glasses and nature journals to help facilitate deep nature connections.
Classes are held at Chimney Rock Park, 736 Chimney Rock Road. All participants need to wear appropriate seasonal clothing and close-toed shoes. If a class is cancelled, one make-up class is offered.
