Your student will also have an opportunity to participate in our online SeeSaw class.  These learning activities will expand on what we cover during our in person learning experience each month. These activities can be completed at anytime. This platform will help the students to connect and share what they are learning with each other and develop deeper relationships. We will be offering a once a month optional zoom call to allow the students to connect and review what we introduced during the in person learning experience.

The cost to participate is $50/semester or $80/full year.  This cost includes admission to the arboretum, access to the SeeSaw platform and Zoom class, snacks and all class supplies. Students will each receive a journal that they will complete throughout the year.  If your student loses their journal, you can purchase a new journal for $25.
