(WNY News Now) – Let your child embrace winter’s magic at Audubon Community Nature Center’s Snow Camps—an exciting opportunity for fun and learning in the great outdoors.
Jamestown, N.Y. – At Audubon Community Nature Center Snow Camps children can enjoy the winter holiday playing outdoors, being active and learning about the winter season.
On Monday, February 17 and Wednesday, February 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. kids ages 4–12 can explore outdoors, play, climb, run, and engage their senses as they discover all that late winter embodies. Campers may explore topics about what animals and plants are waking up and who’s still asleep.
Cold, snow, and ice change the landscape and bring new things to learn about, play with, and explore. Learning and play are the themes of the day.
Children should dress for the weather, bring water, snacks, and a lunch that does not need refrigeration, and extras of anything that might get wet (so extras of everything!).
Cost for each camp is $48 or $36 for Nature Center member children. Additional siblings receive a $5 discount.
Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations for the Monday, February 17 camp are required by Thursday, February 13. Reservations for the Wednesday, February 19 camp are due by Monday, February 17.
