Kids Programs

Little Explorers is a nature adventure for preschoolers at Mebane’s parks and trails. 

 
Each session, we will begin with a nature-themed activity, take a walk on one of our trails, and end with a nature themed book. Children must be accompanied by a caregiver, and of course, wear boots and sneakers that can get a little dirty. 
 
Cost: FREE!
Age: Designed for six and under but older children are welcome

What is this program? Little Explorers is a free program presented in conjunction with Mebane Trail Rangers. It is a nature-based hour intended to both excite and educate children with rotating outdoor themes such as changing leaves, pollinators, insects and more. 
 
How do I register? Once registration opens, you’ll simply click onto the link that we provide on this page, register your child, and sign the waiver.
