Did you know that bears in New Hampshire don’t actually hibernate in the winter? Make the most of your child’s February school vacation – and learn what bears and other wildlife really do when it gets cold in the Granite State – with N.H. Audubon’s February Fun Vacation Camps, Feb. 23-27. Open to children ages 6 to 12, the all-day camps are offered at both the McLane Center at 84 Silk Farm Road. Children may attend all or part of the week.
During the camp sessions, which are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at both locations, children explore nature in the winter through outdoor excursions on foot or snowshoes, play games, sing songs, tell stories, interact with live animals and work on craft and conservation projects that illustrate the wonder of New Hampshire in the winter.
The camp fee is $42 per child per day for N.H. Audubon members and $52 for not-yet members. Camper drop-off begins at 8:30 a.m. and after-hours care is available from 4 to 5:30 p.m. for an additional charge of $8 per child for members and $10 for not-yet members. Financial assistance is available. Children should bring their own lunches and snacks and wear clothing appropriate for outdoor adventures.
