Program Overview
We look forward to once again hosting our Tundra Tots Programming this summer starting in June. We hope to see you all then!
Tundra Tots is a toddler and preschool program that employs storytelling, play, and art to provide meaningful outdoor experiences for the whole family. Tundra Tots will get your kids laughing, learning, and exploring all the wonders that Denali has to offer! Each week will feature a new leader and theme. Throughout the summer we will navigate the Nenana, frolic through the taiga forest, and tumble on the tundra.
Parents stay and play and with us! $5 suggested donation per program.
