EE Community Gathering: Family Playdate!
2025-09-14 14:30 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Acton Discovery Museum, 177 Main Street (Route 27), Acton, MA, United States
MEES Invites you to a free EE Practitioner gathering taking place this fall funded by a generous grant from the North American Association for Environmental Education. The purpose of these gatherings is to come together with others who work in careers connected to environmental teaching and learning in order to build community, learn from one another, and just plain have fun in nature.
This gathering is a family friendly play date for you to bring your child (or just your child-like sense of wonder) to the Discovery Museum in Acton, MA. We will gather for snacks, introductions, and a short welcome from an educator at the museum and then head out to explore and play together in the indoor and outdoor exhibits of the museum. This program falls on Father’s Day, so please feel free to bring along the fathers, grandfathers, or other family you celebrate with on this day as well!

Note: We will meet in the Community Building to start with, not the main museum. The community building is the smaller building next to the main museum building.

This gathering will include a basic tutorial on flint and steel fire building and we encourage both those who have never attempted this skill as well as those who would like to share their own fire making techniques. We will end with a campfire and friendly s’mores making competition as well as time to connect and enjoy the woods and pond at this location.
