To take part in any Explorer Day, all participants must sign a waiver form available on the day.

 

Friends are welcome if space permits.  Any young naturalist 14 years of age and under must be accompanied by an adult.

 

Please arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for waiver signing and passport stamping.  Remember to bring your passport—fill it out in advance at home to make it easier for the Leaders to stamp it. 

Every time you complete a passport (attend 6 events), send the tickets to YNC in Vancouver and you will receive a certificate, a prize, and a new passport.  The prize for completing your second passport is a YNC cap.

All activities will take place rain or shine unless otherwise noted.  Please consider the weather and the activity, and wear appropriate clothing and shoes, including sunhats and sunscreen. Bring snacks and water.

Other items that might be useful are: magnifying glass, binoculars, sketch book and pencil, camera and field guides.

Starting times are firm out of courtesy to the Leader of the day. We regret that we cannot wait for those who are late.

Please stay with the Leader and let him/her know if you are leaving early.

In March we have a selection of free family activities during Spring Break, and you are welcome to attend those as well. Come early to get a ticket, since space is limited. You can find the Wildlife Week (Spring Break) schedule at www.dnv.org/ecology.

 

For those of you with younger children, we have Treetop Tales story time on the first and third Friday of each month and our Questions, Questions preschool programs on Mondays in April, May and June.
