Chipmunk Adventures

Everyone is welcome to our investigations and discoveries this year in Aullwood’s Chipmunk Adventures program! Designed for preschool children ages 2–5 with an accompanying adult, these classes at Aullwood Farm include hands-on activities, art projects, stories, songs, and outdoor experiences. Explore farm animals, hike the woods, crunch leaves, and stomp in the snow!

Classes are held one Wednesday a month throughout most of the year, with expanded summer sessions: two in June, two in July, and three in August. Programs meet at the Farm Discovery Center, 9101 Frederick Pike, Dayton, Ohio, and may take place outdoors under the Farm Pavilion—please dress for the weather. Each session includes time on the trails. Bev Holland, Environmental Educator, leads these sessions, inspiring a sense of wonder in our youngest learners!
