PWELC Field Trip Day 2/20

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.  ;)
