Learn & Play at the Orchard
Mondays & Tuesdays @ 10:30 AM
June 3–August 27, 2024
Cultivating Curiosity is Carter Mountain Orchard’s educational children’s program, running every Monday and Tuesday during the summer. The program is geared towards ages 3-8, and all ages are welcome.
Sessions include storytime, a take-home craft, pick-your-own fruit (in season), and a snack. Themes include apples, peaches, pumpkins, flowers, bees, and more!
- Arrive at least 15 minutes early to register.
- No drop-offs—chaperone required for duration.
2024 Activities
Both sessions during a week will include the same activities, which we’ll switch up from week to week.
