The Cure For Cabin Fever

Looking for something fun to do with the kids over winter break? Wesselman Woods Nature Center is the place to be! The Naturalists have come up with some fun programs to break that cabin fever.

Activities will include stories, crafts, animal meet and greets, and science activities. The Science of Frozen is one of the programs planned and will allow kids to explore the science of the winter wonders seen in the movie Frozen. Another program, Hootenanny, will have kids all “aflutter” while leaning about owls.

Programs will take place at times through the days from Tuesday, December 27, through Friday December 30 at the Nature Center. All programs are included with Nature Center admission. Some programs are limited on participants, so pre-registration is offered by contacting the Nature Center at (812) 479-0771 or emailing Gena Garrett at ggarrett@wesselmannaturesociety.org
