## About

Single-day drop-off outdoor camps for kids out of school over winter break, held in two groups: grades K4-K5 and grades 1-4. Kids spend an active day exploring and playing outdoors with Urban Ecology Center educators at the Riverside Park branch. Dress for the weather and pack a lunch and water bottle. Each day is registered separately and several were nearly full when checked.
