Local K-6th graders participated in a Nature Makers Summer Day Camp this week in Wahpeton at Chahinkapa Park.

It was a busy, fun filled afternoon! Kids had the opportunity to make their own recycled paper, solar ovens, bee habits, nature journals and seed bombs. They also went on a nature scavenger hunt and ended the day with animal yoga.

This was the first of three camps being hosted by NDSU Extension-Richland County. The next two Nature Makers Day Camps will be held in Lidgerwood on July 22nd and in Hankinson on July 30th.

A special thanks to Casey's General Store of Wahpeton for donating the pizza boxes for the solar ovens!

UPDATE: We have had a couple of kids cancel for tomorrow's June 17th Nature Makers Day Camp. So we have reopened registration for the Wahpeton location until those two spots are refilled.

Inviting kids in grades K-6th to participate in Adventure Day Camps being held in three locations this summer! For more information and to register go to https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/events/nature-makers-adventure-summer-day-camps
