July: Around Town! Week 1

Do you know how to find the park’s woods and wildlife hiding among popular tourist attractions? Can you trek from the World’s Fair Pavilion to Art Hill? These weeks, children will be at home with the wilder side of Forest Park. There’s vines to swing from, pokeberries to paint with, and a nature playscape with a mini-swim hole and mock-creek to splash in when the sun’s beating down. The group might build a swing, put on a play, make potions from flowers or have a cocklebur fight! There is usually a visit to a free museum on the last day, or in the case of extreme heat.
