  Miners Alley Children's Theatre has been in operation since 2015.

     Started up by Rory Pierce (who ran the Children's Theatre at Heritage Square for over 20 years) it is highly interactive with adults doing shows for the kids. Each play is about an hour long. In each production we bring children on the stage several times to play some of the parts and the rest of the audience gets involved, too! Bring your camera because you can take pictures before, during and after each play.

  Robotics Classes and In-School Field Trips!

     This unique program is a moving Art project, where children 7 to 12, build unique Art projects that are animated. Each project incorporates visual designs that the student arranges as their own creation and through a variety of devices ensures that this sculpture moves. Our unique Dynamic Art program combines art and technology while challenging your child to explore the relationship of these ideas. Through this program your child will be given the experience of making moving sculptures. Artists such as Alexander Calder used this method for his ceiling mobiles, which are seen all over the country. Each child will be given the opportunity to explore their creativity while incorporating the exciting elements of technology. Through the use of motors, gears and pulleys your child will learn how to turn their art to an exciting new level. They will be making beautiful and fun unique sculptures that exist as art and decorative objects. This class will challenge the functionality of the creative process as well as being fun and rewarding. It is more than your basic children's art class. Each kit contains motors, batteries, and circuits, which are essential to making moving sculpture as well as fun art tools such as construction paper, pipe cleaners, felt, pom poms, and googly eyes. All these items work together to create unique moving pieces of art and your child will closely examine the partnership between engineering and art. (less) ... Read more

  Award-winning In-School, Field Trip, and After School programs!

     Our site is in east Boulder on 42 acres of Open Space, which includes a unique salt marsh - one of only two natural bodies of water in Boulder County's Front Range. It is an excellent place for kids to explore and get a little muddy! If you are looking for a self-directed experience, please come by. The marsh is owned and managed by the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. We just ask that people stay on the trails and take only photos, leave only footprints. If you want to borrow some of our supplies, that's fine, too, just call ahead to be sure someone is here to help you. We have nets and trays for scooping up macroinvertebrates from the marsh, as well as field guides and land insect investigation tools. If you would like to schedule a guided field trip with our amazing educators, we would love to discuss the options. We also offer amazing after school programs. Please visit our website for more details on special programs and field trips. Then contact Erin Saunders, Education Programs Director, to discuss scheduling your Thorne Nature Experience Field Trip at erin@thornenature.org or 303-499-3647 x 101. (less) ... Read more
