Lunch & Snack:
Please pack both a snack and lunch each day. Please pack snack separately from lunch for easy access.
Students are very active throughout the day at Nature Connect and need complex carbs and healthy fats for optimal energy. Please do not send any desserts or other sugary items for lunch or snack.
Please do not pack any beverages other than water. It’s important for children to stay hydrated during our programs, and having sugary drinks can distract them from drinking enough water.
