Budding Naturalists 2026


  • River Raisin Institute 610 West Elm Avenue Monroe, MI, 48162 United States (map)


We invite you to register your little ones for our annual Budding Naturalists program - happening July 20th- 23rd from 10am - 12:30pm at the IHM campus. We welcome little ones from ages 5-10.

Participants can expect to learn about the natural world around us through games, activities, crafts, and lots of fun! We anticipate exploring the IHM garden, ponds, prairies, and woods while learning about many of the plant and animal creatures that call this beautiful space home. There is a big world to explore right outside our doors, and we look forward to experiencing it. 

We welcome volunteers who love to work with little ones and love to be outside; knowledge about the outdoors is not necessary. To volunteer, contact Leanne Pietraniec, Program Coordinator at RRI at RRIPrograms@gmail.com or 734-240-9682 ext 682. 

Registration Coming Soon!

We are grateful to our volunteers and the Monroe County Environmental Fund for making this possible.
