About the Program

    Step into the wings of a pollinator and see if you can survive the season! Play as a hummingbird, butterfly, or bee as you gather resources, avoid real-world threats, and navigate the challenges pollinators face every day. This fun, interactive experience helps kids understand the important roles different pollinators play in our ecosystem—all through hands-on, active gameplay that’s perfect for nature lovers and kids who like to move.

    For kids ages 7 to 12 years old. Please register each child attending separately. For this program, a caregiver must accompany children under the age of 10 in the program, as part of it will take place outside of the library.  

    This program is being offered at multiple locations and the activities will be the same. Please register for only one program. 

    We kindly remind you that registrations will be removed if the registered person does not meet the program’s specified age requirements.
