Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center, 247 Southern Boulevard, Chatham Township, NJ 07928
Ages 6 - 10.
Time off from school is a great time to get out in nature and explore! Enjoy walks, crafts, stories, games, and activities! On Tuesday, discover all there is to know about the bald eagles that spend the winter in NJ. On Wednesday, explore the world of seeds: search for them on the trails and even invent a seed of your own for our Seed Building Challenge. Thursday is all about snow and ice: compete in an ice cube melting race, take a winter scavenger hunt and much more! Sign up for one or more days, as your schedule allows. Participants should bring a nut-free snack and water each day.
Cost: $25 per child per day.
Contact: Preregistration is required. For more information, 973.635.6629.
