Busy and bright!
This first official section is all about gathering as a group to try new skills and gain experience exploring the outdoors. Otters are 5-7 by 12/31 of the program year and learn by doing. The Otter Paws provide otters with opportunities to be helpful, playful, creative, and conservation-minded. 6-8 Otters form a Den and Dens form a Raft. Otters must be accompanied by at least one caregiver at all meetings, outings, and camping trips.
