OAK: Outdoor Adventure Kids 2026 Fall Session 2

We’re thrilled to offer a second fall session of OAK at The North Carolina Arboretum, starting in October 2026! Our expert environmental educators are excited to continue this weekday drop-off program, where kids (ages 6-13) are encouraged to play, learn, and explore together in an outdoor environment where they take the lead. In the past, OAK participants have made natural dyes with collected plants, gone geocaching, explored our ponds and streams, and practiced fire building, among many other exciting activities. We can’t wait to see what new and fun learning experiences await us in the upcoming season!

Our 2026 Fall Session 2 runs for six weeks, from October 30th to December 11th. Each Friday program runs from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. There will be no OAK class on Friday, November 27th.
