   Happy Dancing Turtle is offering classes for four- and five-year-olds to learn about sustainability and nature appreciation. Beginning Monday, March 10 and continuing for four other Mondays through May 12, 2025, the Tiny Turtles program offers four- and five-year-olds time to explore the natural world around them at the Hunt Utilities Group Resilient Living Campus.

   “The group setting is ideal because the curiosity of kids is contagious! With outdoor play and exploration, kids learn about plants, animals, and their habitats! There are so many amazing things happening in nature in the spring that we’ll get to look at up close,” said Program Coordinator Michelle Hoefs. Classes are held entirely outdoors, barring extreme weather, so kids should come dressed for the weather,” 

   Session dates will be from 10 to 11 a.m. on March 10 and 24, April 14 and 28, and May 12. The fee is $25 per child. For more information or to register visit www.happydancingturtle.org/tiny-turtles or contact Michelle Hoefs at 218-587-2303 or [email protected]. 

   Happy Dancing Turtle is a nonprofit dedicated to growing good stewards of the planet by providing education, programs, and experiences for youth and adults that inspire wonder and empower change.
