Keep the kiddos busy with these camps and activities happening over the next two weeks!
N.H. Audubon
Celebrate the end of 2009 by joining us for Winter Solstice Camp! We’ll keep your child active with educational games, outdoor adventures, live animals, crafts and stories.
We’ll explore the winter world, find out who is still out and about, look for evidence of animal activity and share good times. Join in the fun for just one day or sign up for all of them!
Children should bring their own lunches and snacks and be prepared to be outside with appropriate clothing.
Monday, Dec. 28: Wild and Wacky Winter – learn about the strange things animals do to get through the tough New Hampshire winters.
Tuesday, Dec. 29: Owl Mania – learn about New Hampshire’s owl species and meet a live owl, up close and personal!
Wednesday, Dec. 30: New Year’s Extravaganza – Get ready to ring in the New Year, animal style!
