This evening's program will give you a basic introduction to the moon. In addition to describing some basic lunar facts, you will learn about the cosmic events that led to its creation and present appearance, the role its orbit plays in creating solar and lunar eclipses, and more.

All kinds of bugs live in our backyards, including butterflies! At this family fly-by kids will learn about butterflies' and bugs' lives, their births, their diets and their survival skills.  Join us at Joppa Flats Education Center for a magnified look into their bug sized world!

Joppa Flats Education Center offers April vacation programs offering a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities - keeping minds active and hands busy during school break! Come all day or as your schedule allows! This Vacation Week Flyby will focus on the birds and Spring buds.
