We were able to make last-minute arrangements for an in-person Polar Bear at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center.  We are offering two outdoor sessions:

  • Morning — 9:45 AM Opening 10 to 12:30 PM
  • Afternoon — 12:45 PM Opening 1 to 3:30 PM
  • Due to Covid-19 Guidelines, we are limited to 100 participants per session

Four Action Outdoor Stations:

  1. Meet the Goats: Get an up-close look and head in-pasture with our most popular animals, our goats! Learn about the different breeds of goats on Heckscher Farm, their amazing adaptations, and get a chance to give a scratch or two!
  2. Bow drills: One of our favorites! Learn the science behind fire-starting and try your hand at a bow drill to see if you can create a spark!
  3. Nature Detective Challenge: In this lab-style program, scouts will move through tables of natural history artifacts, from skulls, feathers and mounts, to try to test their natural history knowledge.
  4. Bugs & Bones: Discover the world of the wild world of bone artifacts, from skulls to scapulas, and see how we use our dermestid beetle colony to create new artifacts for our nature center. Learn how to read a skull and touch real animal bones!

PLUS — Special recognition to Arrow of Light Webelos. See page 2 of this pdf.
