Critters are the fun focus of the April vacation camp “Lions and Tigers and Bears” sponsored by Amherst LSSE.
Whether large or small with feathers or furs, the critters will visit the camp or students will visit them at the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory or the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. While the focus is on animals, other activities, such as sports and arts and crafts, are scheduled to keep the youngsters engaged and active.
The camp, for children in grades K-6, will be held April 19-22 at the Wildwood Elementary School from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Children should bring a healthy lunch and two healthy snacks per day.
A fee subsidy for income-eligible Amherst families is available. Residents interested in the tuition waver, up to 100%, should apply as soon as possible. Fee subsidies are also available for the LSSE summer camps that begin in June.
