Eco-Explorer Activity Kits
This summer we will again be partnering with Merryspring Nature Center to offer a fun, take-home activity for kids ages 4-9.
Free EXPLORER KITS for families and children will be available for pick-up every Wednesday starting at 9:00 AM from June 30 to August 18 at Merryspring Nature Center, 30 Conway Rd in Camden.
To make environmental education opportunities available to everyone during a time of social distancing and economic hardship, Explorer Kits are free take-home activities designed to inspire outdoor exploration and independent learning. Each Wednesday between June 30 to August 18, a different Explorer Kit will be available for pickup at Merryspring. The kits will feature instructions, materials and ideas for children ages 4 to 9, with each week presenting a new surprise activity and theme.
A total of 30 Explorer Kits will be available each week on a first-come, first-served basis. The Explorer Kits may be picked up from a box in front of Merryspring’s Ross Center, 30 Conway Rd in Camden, each Wednesday at 9 am
Explorer Kits are free to all, but donations are accepted. For more information on Explorer Kits, please contact Merryspring at info@merryspring.org or 207-236-2239.
