Vacation Day: The Big Freeze

December 22, 2015 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

$10 – $55

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an owl in the winter time? How about a fox? Or a fish? We will get a chance to learn about some of the features, called adaptations, that animals have to survive the winter time. We’ll even drill into the ice on the pond to measure its thickness and feel the cold water to see for ourselves how hard it would be to survive in the winter!    

Cost: $55/child (10% discount for members)

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 a sack lunch, an extra set of clothing, appropriate clothing to spend the majority of the day outdoors, and bug spray and/or sunscreen if appropriate.
— ALNC provides a morning and afternoon snack.

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