The plans are in place for our annual outing to Prairie Woods Environmental
Learning Center. The center is just 3-4 minutes off of Hwy 71, about 12 miles
north of Willmar. (see their website for address/directions)
We will begin at 12:00 (plan to arrive at
11:45 for orientation) on Thursday, Feb. 20. This
event is for any child in the yellow group through Teen Scene. Younger children
can come along to observe, but must be in the constant care of an adult (lap,
stroller, carseat, etc.) The kids will be divided into 3 age groups and will
have the opportunity to participate in 3 different activities. The two older
groups will do "indoor rock wall climbing", outdoor winter survival, and group
initiative activities (working together/problem solving). The younger group
will exchange outdoor winter survival for an animal tracking activity (includes
some outside time as weather permits) and do the climbing and group
activities. *Have your children bring their outside clothes.
Each rotation lasts 45-50 minutes, so we will be done by
3:00pm. You are invited to bring a snack for your
kids. There will be a short 10 minute snack break for each group.
The cost for the afternoon is $10 per participating child, as long as we
have 20 kids in each age group. Remember, there are still a few Qdoba cards
available...each card sold would pay for a child. First come, first served.
