Fun Day for Kids set at Flanders

While off from school for the Martin Luther King Day holiday on Jan. 21, children in grades K-5 are invited to come to Flanders to experience “A Flanders Animal Adventure,” where they will spend the day learning about the animals that live at Flanders and in the wild, then taking a hike to find tracks to see who is active in the snow. This will be a fun-filled day packed with exploring the great outdoors, and age appropriate stories, games and crafts. Preregistration is required.

Flanders is offering three sessions for this special adventure. Choose the morning session, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., the afternoon session from 1-5 p.m., or a full day session from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Parents are asked to have their children dress for the weather and to bring a bag lunch or snack. Pre-registration is required. The cost per child for either the morning or afternoon session is $30 members and $40 for nonmembers. Full day cost is $60 for members and $80 for nonmembers. Early care is available from 7-9 a.m. at $8 per hour.
