The Damariscotta River Association (DRA) has announced that Vacation Days Nature Camps will be offered Monday, Dec. 30 and Tuesday, Dec. 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. These programs will offer outdoor nature exploration for children ages five to twelve.
These day camps will focus on studying mammals in winter. Participants will hike for animal tracks and signs, keep a nature journal, make a plaster track to take home and build a snow shelter called a quinzhee. There will also be a special owl pellet dissection activity where each participant will dissect an owl pellet and reassemble the prey skeleton to identify what was eaten.
The fee is $60 per day and participants may register for both days or just a specific day. Call DRA to register for these programs. Limited scholarships are available. A health form will be required for all participants.
For more information call 207-563-1393, email dra@damariscottariver.org, or visit www.damariscottariver.org.
