Winter Camp to be held at the Haskell Ag Lab

Posted

Did you know that snow isn’t really white? It is actually translucent and as light reflects off of it, snow has the appearance of being white.  

Snow is something we typically have the pleasure of experiencing in the wintertime here in the Midwest.  Coming from the South, I sometimes enjoy the sparkling of snow in the sunshine (although I could do without the wind).  

The holidays are behind us, but winter is here to stay for a while.  It may be easier to stay inside and wait out the frosty weather, but it’s time to embrace the cold!  

Nebraska Extension is hosting a Winter Camp for young children on Saturday, Feb. 5.  I will be facilitating this day camp for children ages 3-5 at the Haskell Ag Lab in Concord.  

Winter Camp will begin at 10 a.m. and run until noon. A light snack and lots of fun activities will be provided. 

Children should dress appropriately for the weather as activities will take place outdoors. In the event of sub-zero temperatures or blizzard conditions, camp will be moved indoors.  

Examples of activities include Snow Science, Ice Experiments and Winter Games.  

For more information and to register, please call (402) 584-2234 or email sarah.roberts@unl.edu.  Cost to attend is $5 per child.
