Center Activities and Updates- January 2017
UPCOMING PROGRAMS–JOIN US!
Kids Campfire Fridays
Campfires, stories, games, and exploring nature? Sounds like a great time!
Sign your kids up for a special evening event just for them, and take some time for a date night yourself. All Campfire Fridays at the Audubon Center feature nature-themed activities, games, and plenty of outdoor play under the supervision of our experienced teacher-naturalist staff. Participants should be prepared for outdoor time, including appropriate clothing and footwear, though we’ve got plenty of indoor activities (and hot cocoa) to warm up in inclement weather. Ages 4-12, $30/child (10% member discount).
January 13, February 3rd, March 10th, April 7th. Register (required) by clicking on the links at our website.

Nature Nuts occurs every Tuesday from 10-11 am. Our 2017 schedule begins on January 10th. Meet in the front parking lot.
Cost: $6 per program or $40 for an 8-pack pass.
