Children who participate in four or more programs throughout the summer will receive a patch in recognition for their achievement. Environmental Discovery is a program for children ages six through eight and also includes hands-on field experiences. Participants continue to increase their environmental awareness while building their knowledge of the natural world. Children who participate in three or more programs throughout the summer will receive a patch in recognition for their achievement. Junior Naturalist is for children nine through thirteen and is a more directed and guided approach to environmental learning.
Participants receive a membership card and work toward the completion of specific requirements.
By participating in guided activities, Junior Naturalists continue to develop their environmental knowledge and complete requirements that lead to the presentation of the patch and certificate of the Junior Naturalist Award. These programs will meet once a week for 8 weeks throughout the summer beginning the week of June 17th. An application form can be obtained at either park office or at the Old Mill and must be completed by a parent or guardian before a child can participate in the program.
