Hear a story about how birds build and take care of their nests, make a bird nest craft, and enjoy s'mores!
Our story this time is The Nest That Wren Built, by Randi Sonenshine. After the story and activity, we will enjoy s'mores around our campfire (weather permitting).
Who is invited:
All are welcome, but this activity is best for ages 5-10 years. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or guardian. No pets please. This is a public program intended for families. If you would like to bring a group for a program at Government Canyon, please contact the Park Interpreter at [email protected] to schedule at a different time.
Where to meet:
This activity meets at the Amphitheater, near the Frontcountry Trailhead. Lot C will be the closest parking.
Accessibility:
This is a stationary activity (no hike). There is a gravel path leading from the parking lot to the amphitheater, a distance of about 120'. The amphitheater is near an accessible restroom.
If ADA assistance is required, please request modifications by emailing [email protected] at least 2 weeks in advance.
How to prepare:
Registration is NOT required for this activity. Though the event is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass. There is often a line at the fee booth; arrive early to get to your activity on time. Day passes can be reserved beginning one month before the date of your visit.
Dress for time spent outdoors. Comfortable shoes, bug spray and a hat are recommended. Bring at least one bottle of water per person.
