JAMESTOWN - January Camp at Audubon Community Nature Center is an opportunity for children ages 4-12 to enjoy a school holiday playing outdoors and being active, even as the cold has set in for the season.
On Monday, January 20th from 9:00am-3:00pm, kids can explore outdoors, play, climb, run, and engage their senses. They may investigate how animals survive winter, discover who is still active in this season, learn the properties of snow and ice, and more. Learning and play are the themes of the day.
Children should dress for the weather, bring water and snacks and a lunch that does not need refrigeration, and extras of anything that might get wet (so extras of everything!). Cost for the day is $48 for ages 4-12 or $36 for Nature Center member children. Additional siblings receive a $5 discount. Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations are required by Thursday, January 16th. For more information and to register, call 716-569-2345 during business hours or click through Programs and Events at AudubonCNC.org.
Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, NY and Warren, PA. You can visit the nearly 600-acre nature preserve, check in on the live birds of prey, enjoy the native tree arboretum and natural play space, and hike, snowshoe or cross country ski over five miles of trails dawn until dusk daily for free.
The three-story Nature Center building houses interactive displays, a collection of live animals including the Hellbender exhibit, and the Blue Heron Gift Shop. Visitors are welcome Monday through Saturday, 10:00am-4:30pm, and Sunday, 1:00-4:30pm. Nature Center members and SNAP/EBT cardholders have free building admission daily. Building admission is also free every Sunday for non-Nature Center members.
