Many school districts will be closed for the entire week of Thanksgiving this year and for the first time the Nature Center will be offering parents the chance to keep their kids active and engaged in the days leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. On Monday and Tuesday, November 19th and 20th the Nature Center will host two days of fun and adventure for Kindergarten through 5th grade students as they explore the earth's bounty and learn to appreciate all that nature has to offer. Campers will spend the day with nature themed crafts, activities, games and outdoor play as they investigate the habitats of Dunwoody Park. Both early morning drop offs and late afternoon pick-ups are available to better accommodate the schedules of working parents. Online registration begins on Monday, October 29th for the Thanksgiving break camp on the Nature Center’s website at http://www.dunwoodynature.org/Camps .
The Nature Center will also be offering its popular Winter Break camps this year, and for the first time will be offering two separate sessions of half week camps immediately following Christmas and New Years day. Registration opens on October 29th for these camps as well for both elementary and pre-school aged children. Children will have the opportunity to join our staff of educators as they explore the winter climate and study its effect on the animals, plants, and habitats of Dunwoody Park. These camps allow children who are staying in town for the holidays the chance to reconnect with nature in a structured environment. Running Wednesday through Friday, these camps will feature games, crafts and daily hikes to discover nature’s winter secrets. Full-day camps will also have a visit during the week from a wildlife expert who will be bringing in some of the animals that campers learn about during the week to demonstrate firsthand how they adapt to the winter. Registration for Winter Break camps is available on the Nature Center’s website at http://www.dunwoodynature.org/Camps .
