Wind Cave Offering Children Adventures in Nature Program

WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK, S.D. (AP) — Children who want to learn about nature and develop skills to explore the natural world can visit Wind Cave National Park each Tuesday beginning January 12th.

Superintendent Vidal Dávila says the park's Adventures in Nature program at the visitor center offers children ages 3 to 12 an opportunity to experience nature and play in an active learning environment.

Programs will revolve around the Find Your Park Campaign, part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service.

Children will be grouped according to their age, allowing them opportunities to explore hands-on activities with their peers. Topics vary each week but will always include activities, crafts and a hike exploring the day's concept.

The program runs through April 5th.
