The Crooked Creek Environmental Center in Ford City, Armstrong County, is hosting a teacher workshop  entitled Growing Up Wild, Exploring Nature With Young Children on August 8 starting at 9:00 a.m.

Growing Up Wild is an early childhood education program that builds on children’s sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them.

Learn how early childhood learning objectives can be reached through use of the outdoors and nature- themed activities combined with art, music, and play. Build your confidence to lead outdoor explorations with ready-made activities and background information.

For more information or to register, contact the ELC at 724-763-6316 or send email to: elcaet@windstream.net.
