Seeking an action-packed adventure over the holiday recess? Friends of Rogers has the answer! From Dec. 26 through 30, children ages 7-10 have the opportunity to explore Rogers Environmental Education Center in Sherburne and learn about the great outdoors.
During “Wonders of Winter,” participants will hike the trails, conduct experiments, explore the mysteries of the forest, learn about the natural world, and make new friends. Crafts, games and snacks add to the fun!
“We have a variety of exciting activities planned this season,” said Sarah Freedman, Friends of Rogers environmental educator. “The opportunity for kids to get outside and learn new things is always an adventure.”
Early bird registration made by Dec. 16 is $28 per day for members and $33 for non-yet-members, and discounts are available for multi-day and multi-child registrations. The fee increases to $30 for members and $35 for not-yet-members after Dec. 16. Also available are activities before (8-9 a.m.) and after (4-5:30 p.m.) for an additional $7.50 per session, per child.
“This is an exciting opportunity for youth around our region,” said Simon Solomon, Friends of Rogers executive director. “We are extremely grateful to NBT Bank for partnering with us. We rely on the generosity of local businesses to support our unique program offerings. Thanks to sponsors like NBT Bank, we are able to continue providing fun and engaging alternatives to sedentary winter activities.”
