School is out for fall break! Do you have a plan? Much like our summer day camp, campers will explore the park, but this time for all things fall foliage! Children will participate in games, crafts, hikes, and nature programs, all while staying active and outdoors on their days off.

The theme for Thursday is Habitat Hoppers! We will explore the various habitats at Grant Park, from the meadows to the forest to the creek. Along the way, we will learn about the wildlife that live in these habitats.

Both days of Fall Foliage Camp are separate programs; participants may register for one or both camp days.

Notes

  • Bring a nut-free packed lunch that does not require refrigeration. Close-toed shoes, a backpack, and clothes that can get dirty are required.
  • In case of poor weather (cold or rain), this camp will be moved to be primarily indoors. Otherwise, please plan for your camper to be outdoors most of the day! If cold weather is predicted, coats, hats, and gloves will be required.
  • Program and camp cancellations made seven days prior to the start date will receive a full refund in the form of household credit or refund to the original payment method. Those cancellations made less than seven days prior to the program date will be offered a 50% refund in the form of a household credit. Cancellations made during or after the program are not eligible for a refund. Exceptions to this policy can be made at the discretion of the Program Manager.
