What parents are saying
“Falling in love with nature is how we will save the world. Butterfly Pavilion Club gave my child the opportunity to explore invertebrates and spend more time outside in the world. My 7-year-old is coming out of this year’s Butterfly Pavilion Club with a passion for protecting habitats, picking up the earth, and being kind to all, especially our creepy crawlies. We love Butterfly Pavilion club!”
