Vacation Day: Little Critters

December 23, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

$10 – $55

Learning about little critters can be BIG fun! We’ll spend the day learning about mice, voles, moles, shrews, bats and more.  Go on a food scavenger hunt, search for signs and scat, find out how they stay warm in winter, dissect an owl pellet to put together a little critter skeleton, and try to observe a little critter up close through live trapping and release.
Please pack a sack lunch. AM and PM snacks provided.

Cost: $55/child (Members receive 10% discount)

Additional info:
— Vacation Day programming is designed for ages 5-12. Attendees will be split into groups according to age so material may be adjusted accordingly.
— Please send your child with an extra set of clothing, appropriate clothing to spend the majority of the day outdoors, and bug spray and/or sunscreen if appropriate.

Extended Day is available from 8:30-9am and 4-5:30pm at an additional cost. See previous page to register.
