What should I wear? Dress for the weather as Summer Discovery will happen rain or shine. Shorts and T-shirts are fine as long as it is warm enough. A jacket, sweatshirt, sweatpants, or jeans may be better for cool mornings. A raincoat or poncho and boots would be helpful for a rainy day. (If there is severe weather, it is the parents’ decision whether or not to send their child. We will remain under a pavilion during thunder and lightening.)
What should I bring?
What happens on Wednesday night? The “Discover the Night” program is held in Sewickley Heights Borough Park off Fern Hollow Road. Your whole family is invited to look at the night sky through a telescope and take a walk through the woods. We will begin at 8:30 and end by 10:00.
How much? The tuition is $35 per camper to help defray the cost of insurance. (If there is more than one camper per family, the cost is $50 per family.) Please make checks out to Little Sewickley Creek Watershed Association and submit with registration form.
