Program Themes:
MAY: “Ants.”
Ants are often thought of as pesky little pests; they can ruin a picnic, invade your home, and make you scratch until you can’t itch anymore! But… come to the KDC and learn the truth about these micro super-heroes! Did you know that these tiny insects do SO MUCH GOOD for our world that we would be lost without them? They’re HERE…they’re THERE… they’re EVERYWHERE…they’re ANTS!
JUNE: "Snake."
What animal doesn’t have arms or legs, eyelids that cover their eyes, voice that makes noise, external ears, nor hair on their body? This often, misunderstood reptile is a SNAKE! Come learn about the wonders of Maryland’s snake populations, while engaging in fun activities, crafts, and games! Children receive a FREE take-home activity booklet and surprise after completing a session at the Kid’s Discovery Center!
