Several local kids spent their President’s Day off school at the Darke County Parks Nature Center for Winter Day Camp. The weather was mild and the kids got to spend a lot of time outside getting “lost” in the woods. We followed a game trail deep into the woods of Shawnee Prairie Preserve and looked for signs of animal activity. As we headed toward Mud Creek, we found evidence of beavers! In the Nature Center, the kids got creative and made their own “Nature in February” poster. The campers then headed back outside in search of a log to make a natural bird feeder. Holes were drilled in the log and then they filled them with suet and bird seed. What a treat the birds will have! The kids were playing winter Bingo when their parents came to get them, and none of them were ready to leave! Thanks to everyone who came out for Winter Day Camp, what a great day!
