OUTDOORS: Getting the kids outside and away from the computer

Julia from the Brandywine and Red Clay Valley Association (that's the new name of the combined organization) asked me to publicize the nature center's winter family programs, and I'm happy to do so.
On Monday, Feb. 16, there is a Presidents' Day nature camp for kids ages 9 through 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Sunday, March 15, families will get to see primitive hunting tools like bows and arrow and tomahawks in action on "Target Day." Spring Break nature camp will be on Tuesday, March 31, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; there will be separate programs for 6- to 8-year-olds and 9- to 12-year-olds. And on Saturday, April 11, from 10 a.m. to noon, it's "Wild Animal Day," where families can check out the taxidermy collection and animal pelts and bones and visit with live box turtles.
Preregistration is required for all of the programs. Visit www.brandywinewatershed.org or call 610-793-1090.
All of the programs are at 1760 Unionville-Wawaset Road (Route 842) between Unionville and West Chester.

A small correction; we have not yet merged the Brandywine and Red Clay Valley Associations and anticipate doing so by late spring of 2015. Our new name is yet to be determined. More information on the merger can be found on our website. http://www.brandywinewatershed.org/template/merger.asp

    Best,
    BVA/RCVA
