“KIDS & KEEPERS” AT COVE
An Expanded Summer Program at Cove Spring Park 2010
Weekend programs, open to all, are standard fare at Cove Spring Park/Nature Preserve. Last year, something new was added: a summer series of weekday morning activities for kids and “keepers.”
Your feedback was an enthusiastic “have MORE of these programs!” You spoke, we listened, and we are (having more). Last year’s pilot program offered just one program per week, for three weeks. This year: two programs per week, for four weeks, July 6th thru July 29th!
Open to children ages 3 – 7 years old, each “kid” must be accompanied by a “keeper” 14 years or older – can be a parent, grandparent, babysitter, older sibling. Participants are encouraged to pack a picnic lunch to enjoy at the shelter following the program.
Led by Certified Environmental Educator Debbie Bramlage, the programs will take place Tuesday and Thursday mornings for one hour, beginning at 11:00 a.m. Each program will provide an opportunity for learning, for movement, and a craft.
August will feature self-guided Discovery Hikes. At the Information Kiosk in the main park, Kids and Keepers will find printed handouts for a new adventure each week. A fresh activity guide will be in place every Tuesday from August 4 thru August 18, and remain available for a full week.
These programs, sponsored by Frankfort Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites, are free to all participants. For more information, call 502-352-1333 or 502-352-2028.
