YUCK! is all about getting outside, getting messy, and discovering the wonders of Rose Run Park! Designed for kids in grades 1–3, this program encourages hands-on exploration and imaginative free play in nature. As children wade through the creek, search for critters, and build with natural materials, they’ll develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the community they’re a part of. Along the way, kids build confidence as they try new things, problem-solve, and navigate the natural world. They’ll also make new friends, practice teamwork, and strengthen social skills — all while reaping the many benefits of outdoor play, from boosting creativity and resilience to supporting overall health and well-being. Every muddy splash and curious discovery helps nurture a lifelong love for nature and community.
