Join the Potomac Valley Audubon Society (PV AS) for free drop-in summer camp activities.
These programs will include story-time, crafts, games and more. Most programs will last about one hour and are best for elementary school-aged youth, though all are welcome.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
Plan to join your camper for the fun – adult supervision is required. Dress for the weather and take a water bottle. Be prepared with snacks and other things you and your camper will need. No food will be provided, but activity supplies will. Activities are led by the Potomac Valley Audubon Society’s education staff, who are certified in First Aid and CPR.
