Once again, we’re freezin’ for a reason! Take the plunge for nature connection and Flying Deer! Now more than ever, we need to dive deep and support the next generation of earth stewards! This year, we’ll have a limited number of Plungers with us at four separate locations, and you can also plunge on your own, with family, or with friends, at your own pond or creek. We will share your amazing video footage of your plunge—including fabulous costumes!—after the event. Each registered Plunger or team of Plungers will collect sponsors whose donations go toward our Financial Assistance Fund, supporting people of all ages to experience the power of nature connection! The Plunge has personal benefits as well: Immersing ourselves in cold water can teach us that we can step beyond our perceived limitations and stay calm amidst challenging conditions.

Second Generation Theatre and Theatre of Youth have collaborated to create an interactive theatre experience for theatre patrons ages 5-12. ONCE UPON A TIME is a 40-minute musical presented via ZOOM. It follows traditional fairy tale characters as they learn about inner strength and becoming the heroes of their own stories. An upbeat, high energy musical with captivating melodies, ONCE UPON A TIME empowers children to proudly be themselves. **ONCE UPON A TIME requires parental participation! Parents/guardians will receive an email with information on setting up some magical items before the show for your child to discover during the performance.**

Get your preschooler excited about science and the world around them. Each week you’ll explore a new theme with stories, songs, and activities using pieces from our collection.
