Staff Report
Rockford Park District’s Atwood Center invites youth ages 6-12 for Atwood Wanderings activities each Saturday in February (Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23).
Youth can enjoy experiencing and learning in a fun way about nature through the variety of three-hour morning or afternoon outdoor and indoor programs at the 325-acre Seth B. Atwood Park.
Program topics include “A Walk Through Time,” “Wilderness Explorer,” “Woodland Survivor” and “Birds of a Feather.”
The fee per program is $7 per person ($9 non-resident), or participants can bring a sack lunch and save $2 by registering online for same-day morning and afternoon programs. Parents are welcome to attend with their children.
These programs may fulfill requirements for Cub Scout and Brownie/Junior badges; program descriptions and schedules can be found in the Rockford Park District Winter/Spring 2013 Program Guide available at www.rockfordparkdistrict.org/programbrochures [1] and at Park District offices and facilities.
Register at least one week in advance, either online at www.rockfordparkdistrict.org [2] (click Register Now), or by mail, fax (with credit card) or at either Park District Customer Service location (downtown Rockford or Carlson Ice Arena, Loves Park).
If registering for same-day morning/afternoon programs, contact Customer Service to receive the $2 discount.
More about Atwood programs, facility rentals and group activities and retreats is available at www.rockfordparkdistrict.org/atwood [3]. For information about disability support and accessibility for people with disabilities, call Customer Service at (815) 987-8800.
