School Spring Break Programs At Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center

AMBOY, NY – Don’t spend Spring Break inside! Come visit the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center and attend one of our programs.

The Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center will be hosting Guided Spring Nature Walks on April 12 at 10 a.m. and on April 13 at 2:30 p.m.

Environmental educators will be leading the group around the nature center searching for signs of spring. While on the walk, participants might hear a variety of songbirds singing, see birds starting to create their nests, or see trees and flowers starting to bud, all signs of warmer days ahead. This family-oriented program will start or end with a book reading and or a simple craft.

Birds, reptiles, and amphibians all hatch out of eggs. In Oswego County, most of these eggs are laid in spring. On Wednesday, April 14 at 10 a.m., the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center will rejoice in spring by hosting a Geocaching Egg Hunt.

This family-oriented program will teach participants how to use a GPS unit and then hunt for plastic eggs in the woods. Bring your own GPS unit if you have one or borrow a GPS unit from Oswego County 4-H for the duration of the program. Each unit will be programmed to search for 3 special eggs.

The fee for each of these programs is $4 per person, up to $12 per family, and children under three are free! Preregistration is requested. For more information and to register, visit http://thatscooperativeextension.org/events.
