Hello all,
Just a remind that our next classes at Cedar Run will be held on Thursday, February 9th. Here are the topics:

Ages 6+: (1-3 p.m.) The Chill of Snow & Ice: Brrr…it’s cold outside! Learn about the formation of snow, who lives under the ice, and even try to make your own snowshoes on this chilly winter adventure. We will be outside for most of this class--remember to dress for the weather!

Ages 3-5: (1-2:30 p.m.) Oh, Those Crazy Squirrels!: Squirrels, squirrels, and more squirrels. Learn about these misunderstood critters and how they aren’t as bad as we make them out to be! An adult MUST remain with the child during the class. If you have children in both groups, you are welcome to explore the refuge, use our play room, etc. will you are waiting for the older class to finish.
 
Prices remain the same at $7.00 per child. Please let me know if you have any questions or to sign-up. Remember you must e-mail or call to sign-up in advance--no walk-ins please. Thanks! Hope to see you soon!
