Program Description: Brewster Recreation is partnering with Mass Audubon this spring! If your child is looking for an activity during April vacation, look no further. Mass Audubon’s drop-off school vacation week program immerses children in nature through stories, games, crafts, and hikes led by their experienced team of environmental educators from 9:00 AM-2:30 PM daily. Offered for 3rd-5th graders in partnership with Brewster Recreation!
Trek through the woods, vernal pools, and tidal flats to discover nature springing back to life on Cape Cod. Search for life under logs, or soaring overhead as you explore the outdoors with new friends! Groups will focus on a different habitat each day of the week.

*Layered clothes that can get wet and dirty (play clothes).
