Reading Treasure Hunt
It’s story time in the woods! This July and August, elementary school age children can come to Beaver Lake Nature Center for a Reading Treasure Hunt. Boxes, containing short stories for children to read out in the woods, will be hidden along trails. Different clues to find each box will be available at the front desk during the Nature Center’s hours. This program is free with admission. Every two weeks, the boxes will be re-hidden in new places with new stories.
Beaver Lake Nature Center, an Onondaga County Park, is located 3 miles west of Baldwinsville off of Route 370. For more information or to register, call the Nature Center at (315) 638-2519 or visit OnondagaCountyParks.com.
