Buzzards Bay Coalition to hold series of free family outdoor explorations

Dec 14, 2015

The Buzzards Bay Coalition will hold a series of three free family exploration programs from Monday, Dec. 28 – Wednesday, Dec. 30.

Families will get fresh air, while discovering creatures that live in our region during the colder winter months.

At ­­­­­­Little Harbor Beach on Monday, Dec. 28, families will explore the seashore on a scavenger hunt and create beach art with our findings. During the second program on Tuesday, Dec. 29, they will learn how to use a compass and practice orienteering skills during a hike at Horseshoe Mill. Finally, at Minot Forest on Wednesday, Dec. 30, they will search for critters that have sought shelter in the warmth of the woods and participate in a photo scavenger hunt.

Winter Vacation Family Exploration is recommended for families with school-aged children. The Coalition encourages families to attend all three programs, but it is not required.
