Rockland Recreation with North and South Rivers Watershed Association and Norwell Recreation presents: April Vacation Adventures!
Looking to get your kids outside and into an adventure during April Vacation? For the fifth consecutive year, The North and South Rivers Watershed Association is offering exciting outdoor activities to local South Shore area youth ages 9-12! The April Break program will run April 17th through the 20th, 9am to Noon. With a back-up day Friday 4/21. Activities include fishing, hiking, outdoor ecology games, or geocaching. Program package includes four mornings of fun and educational outdoor activities. Participants will gain outdoor experience, discover local forest and wetland ecology, learn local history, and simply have fun while being off the screen and out in nature!
Program includes two experienced guides, including a certified American Red Cross Lifeguard and Wilderness First Responder. All equipment included. Parents/guardians will drop-off and pick-up their youth at a predetermined location for each day.
Join us as we get outside and explore places in and around our community, all while having fun and experiencing something new.
