Does your child love nature and animals? If so, he or she might enjoy Audubon Nature Club. For the Winter Session they will focus on how animals survive the cold. Each week, they will focus on one animal and discuss it in detail. The class plays games, does scavenger hunts, and explores the Winter wildlife of Maryland. Black bears, deer, squirrels, and owls are just a few of the creatures they will discover, along with LIVE ANIMAL presentations!
