SUMMARY:Shark Anatomy & Biology with AWSC
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on program is geared towards children and families\, and is led by our special guests from the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. Participants will assemble a life-size puzzle of a juvenile white shark and a life-size puzzle of an adult white shark. Learners will then discuss how sharks grow and change from juvenile to adult and what is required for them to grow. With examples of shark teeth to discuss how feeding and diet change\, this program will demonstrate how sharks need food to grow and swim! Participants will then take their investigation a step further by exploring the similarities and differences between white sharks and whales\, boney fish\, seals\, and more. Through interactive exploration\, learners will develop an understanding of how marine animals utilize and travel ocean waters in various ways. \nOur guests from the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy are also offering a lecture later the same day at The Crane Estate: Awareness Inspires Conservation\, 4/22 from 6-7:30pm: https://thetrustees.org/event/425258/ \nShark enthusiasts might want to join us for both events and enjoy a walk or picnic on the Estate grounds in between the programs. \nThis is a family-friendly program welcoming learners of all ages which includes hands-on activities to engage curiosity. This program is best suited for ages 5+.

SUMMARY:CraneExplorer: Arbor Day Forest Fun
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Arbor Day with a frolic through the forest on this all-ages education program which explores the biological need for habitat & shelter in an educational and experiential setting. Participants will discuss examples of shelters and dwellings\, why and how living things build shelters\, and share gratitude with the earth for providing the materials for these shelters. After brainstorming some building strategies & designs\, we will get active outside with a nature walk and then practice building shelters & fairy houses out of natural materials in the Pine Grove at Castle Hill. This program is a great way for young learners to spend time outdoors exploring creativity & gratitude for nature. \nCraneExplorer events are family-friendly programs welcoming learners of all ages. Hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look\, listen\, and learn from our CraneExplorer guides. Interactive education programs include hands-on activities to engage our curiosity. CraneExplorer Programs are best suited for ages 5+. \nPlease be aware that we may walk for up to two hours and cover approximately 1-2 miles. As such\, adult discretion on your child’s ability to manage this activity is advised.

SUMMARY:Laurie Berkner (TWO SHOWS)
DESCRIPTION:Two Shows: 11AM & 3PM \nGive your child an unforgettable experience that will inspire a lifelong love of music and create lasting memories with the whole F-A-M-I-L-Y! \nLaurie Berkner has been a professional musician since 1992\, but her success as a children’s recording artist was a surprise to her. “It was so unexpected\,” says Laurie. “I’d been performing in rock bands and struggling to write original music. Writing music for kids has not been a struggle at all. The more I started working on material for children\, the more I realized that it opened up creativity in me that I never knew I had.” \nThese days critics widely acknowledge Laurie’s major contribution toward launching what is now dubbed the progressive “kindie rock” movement – i.e. less saccharine\, more rocking music that is not dumbed down for children. But it wasn’t simply an enormous amount of talent that helped create an entire genre and skyrocketed Laurie to her current position as “the queen of kids’ music” (People magazine). \nIt was an ability to gain parents’ enthusiasm for the songs as well. According to Laurie\, “When I’m writing a song\, I’m thinking about whether the kids will like it and whether I’m going to connect to them through it. I’m also thinking about whether I want to sing it over and over again\, so I guess that’s the part that connects with adults. ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’ is a great song for kids\, but I couldn’t sing it 100 times!”
