Anyone looking to expose their preschool-aged children to nature will have several fun organized opportunities to do so. The Macon County Conservation Project has announced several fall events for parents and their kids at the Rock Springs Nature Center. The events last one hour and include crafts, activities, songs, stories, and, of course, time outdoors.
The weekday events are called “mini camps.” They run from 9:30-10:30 a.m. and cost $8 per child. Each topic has two sessions to better accommodate guests’ schedules. The schedule is as follows:
- Tuesday, September 2 and Thursday, September 4: Wooly Worms
- Tuesday, September 16 and Thursday, September 18: Bushy Squirrels
- Tuesday, October 7 and Thursday, October 9: Ruby Red Ladybugs
- Tuesday, October 21 and Thursday, October 23: Fuzzy Bats
- Tuesday, November 4 and Thursday, November 6: Colorful Leaves
- Tuesday, November 18 and Thursday, November 20: Funky Turkeys
There are also events on the weekends. These run from 2-3 p.m. one Sunday each month and cost $2 per child. These excursions include: Marching Ants, Fall Colors, and Silly Spiders.
