Throughout Cactus Clubhouse, the kids encountered several activity areas with sticks, natural music instruments and so much outdoor natural play. Endless hours of play the kids discovered the fun of the natural world by climbing, creating and building with various organic materials. The kids encountered several stations and activities. Activity areas included the opportunity to engage in nature art, music and movement. They climbed, balanced and created their own play through natural objects.

Cactus Clubhouse opened in February 2020 to a crowd full of children, families and longtime Garden supporters. The event was capped by a dedication from one of our Teens in the Garden volunteers and a ribbon-cutting by the Leidhecker family, whose daughters have been growing up with the Garden’s nature-based programming.
Cactus Clubhouse is made possible by grants from the USDA Forest Service and the Pharos Foundation in collaboration with Dimensions Educational Research Foundation.
