Audubon winter camp set for Mondays January 17, 24

Submitted Photo January Camp at Audubon Community Nature Center is an opportunity for children to enjoy the winter weather. On Mondays, Jan. 17 and 24, children can have a day of fun and learning both indoors and outside.

Children can enjoy the winter weather after the holiday chaos.

Sign them up for a day of exploration, learning, and play at January Camp at Audubon Community Nature Center.

On Mondays, January 17 and 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., they can explore winter habitats, play in the snow, perhaps find a “skating” pond, and visit with their friends.

The Jan. 17 camp is for ages 4 to 12. The Jan. 24 camp is for ages 6 to 10.

The Jan. 24 camp is especially suited for Pennsylvania students’ school schedule.

Much of the day is spent outdoors, so dress children for the weather, including two pairs of extra clothes, including socks, shoes, and mittens. Include extra face coverings for indoor time. The children also need a lunch, a couple of snacks, and water bottles for a fun- and discovery-filled day at Audubon.

Cost for the day is $40 or $30 for Nature Center member children. Additional siblings receive a $5 discount.

Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations are required by Thursday, Jan. 13, for the Jan. 17 camp and Thursday, Jan. 20, for the Jan. 24 camp. For more information and to register, call 569-2345 during business hours or go to AudubonCNC.org and click on “Register for a Program.”

The three-story Nature Center building houses interactive displays, a collection of live animals including the new Hellbender exhibit, winners of the 2021 Nature Photography Contest, and the Blue Heron Gift Shop. Visitors are welcome Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sundays from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Nature Center members enjoy free building admission daily, and building admission is free every Sunday for non-Nature Center members as well.

The building will be closed on New Year’s Day.
