February Fun Vacation Camp is a special opportunity for children ages 6-12 to learn more about nature in winter. Join us for a single day, several days, or the whole week. The various themes of each day will be explored through outdoor excursions (by foot or on snowshoes), games, crafts, stories, live animals, songs, and conservation projects to help participants discover the wonders of the season. Children should bring their own lunches and snacks and be prepared to be outside with appropriate clothing.

Monday: Feeding Frenzy
We’ll talk about NH food chains, play a predator/prey game, and feed some of our center’s live animals.
Tuesday: Common Senses
We’ll explore the various ways animals perceive the world around them, using whiskers, hands, noses, antennae, eyes… Then we’ll look at some live animals and try to see what they see!
Wednesday: Homes & Shelters
Find out where NH’s different animals make their homes, then go into the woods to build our own survival shelters.
Thursday: Starry Night
Come discover what goes on in NH at night! We’ll look at stars and talk about nocturnal animals, then look at some of our center’s live examples.
Friday: Maple Mania
The trees may not have leaves yet, but they will start waking up very soon! Learn all about the fascinating process of  collecting maple sap to make maple syrup and candies, and get to taste some NH-made maple syrup!
