STEAM activities are extremely popular for children of all ages. Children are very interested in finding out how things work through creative and fun hands-on projects. This fits congruently with the experiences we are looking to provide for our guests on vacation. We will be offering four STEAM based activities each week this summer out of the Morse Highlands Day Lodge and on the Village Green, two for the under 6 crowd and two for the 6 & older population, and one for all ages. We will also be offering Notch Nature in the Evening which will include an evening wike to a pavilion followed by a naturalist talk, around a bonfire, about the history and richness of our local surroundings.
