Stream Slosh II

Submitted article

What lurks beneath the rocks in streams? Come find out while unearthing a whole new world.  Join Nature Chris on Saturday, August 16 from 10:00 am to 11:100 am at the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center for Steam Slosh II.  Nature Chris will lead the group in making their own stream critter craft, then slosh through a shallow, slow flowing stream looking for crayfish, aquatic insects, salamanders and minnows with a dip net. It is hard to believe all the critters that live in this stream! Participants might get a bit wet so they should wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. Shoes must be tied or velcroed to the feet. No flipflops please.

Stream Slosh II is designed for preschool children ages 3-5 with an adult companion.  There is a $3.00 adult/child pair and an additional child participant is $2.00.  Nonregistered siblings are not permitted. Registration fees will be collected on the day of the program.  Stream Slosh II is an indoor/outdoor program. All program participants need to be dressed to go outside. This program is designed for families.  Schools, youth groups, daycare centers and playgroups need to make a reservation for a separate guided program.
