(WNY News Now) – Jamestown, N.Y. – Children ages 4–12 are invited to spend a day of learning and adventure at Audubon Community Nature Center’s February Camp, Monday, February 21, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Late winter brings an awakening of the natural world that’s sometimes hard to see. Especially for plants, the changes in temperature trigger changes that hearken to the soon-arriving spring.
This winter day camp is an opportunity for kids to learn what is happening in the earth, even when it may look like it is asleep.
Campers are outside for as much of the day as possible, so they need to be dressed to be comfortable being out in the forecasted weather.
Kids need to bring water, snacks, a lunch that does not need refrigeration, and extras of anything that might get wet (so extras of everything!).
Cost for the day is $48 for ages 4–12 or $36 for Nature Center member children. Additional siblings receive a $5 discount.
Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations are required by Monday, February 19.
For more information and to register, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or go to AudubonCNC.org and click through “Programs and Events.”
