Youth Programs
Wonder Walks
for ages 0–5 + caregiver
Weekly on Fridays, 9–10 AM June 12–September 4, 2026
Wonder Walks are child-centered meanders through the Langlais Art Preserve. Rain or shine, each walk offers new discoveries as the landscape shifts and evolves over the season. Our staff gently facilitate each walk, creating a safe environment for children and their caregivers to engage with outdoor artworks and trailside wonders. Children may choose to borrow a backpack containing simple tools to help them explore. And as the goal of Wonder Walks is not the destination but the journey, the group dynamic will dictate the distance traveled.
Wonder Walks are free.
Donations are appreciated and directly support the Langlais Art Preserve’s operations and programs.

You knew that some bugs have a favorite plant, but did you know that some plants have a favorite bug too? Come explore the kinship between plants, insects, and the rest of the more-than-human world.

Detectives of Nature
Uncovering the story of the land
August 17–21 | Ages 7–10
9 AM-1 PM; drop-off begins at 8:45 AM
Things are not as they seem at the Langlais Art Preserve, and the land is trying to tell us a story about its history, and what it needs in order to thrive. We will tune in as investigators, fact finders, naturalists, and artists, uncovering clues about how human-caused disturbance has impacted the preserve, and what we can do to help.
