Calling all backyard explorers! This season, kids can enjoy a new summer camp series from home at no charge.
The four-week “Backyard Explorers” series is targeted to children kindergarten through 5th grade and provides resources to explore and discover nature in their own back yards. The series will begin June 15 and continue through July 10. A new backyard nature theme – bugs, birds, mammals and plants – will be introduced each week. Free content will be shared here on our Facebook page, offering educational and activity-based videos as well as additional links to supplemental resources.
Children may take part in all four weeks or choose the themes that are of most interest. While no purchase is required to participate, a Backyard Explorer backpack kit will be available for families wishing to enhance the virtual camp experience. The kit contains hands-on materials such as an Ohio wildlife guide, animal-track molding activity, seed pack, magnifying glass, insect collection jar and more! The kits are $20 and may be ordered online at http://ow.ly/bUTP50zW7so. For more information, call 330-867-5511.
