UPDATE: Due to a lack of registration, Pennsauken’s Nature Enthusiast Day planned for Saturday, May 4, has been canceled.
Pennsauken’s second annual Nature Enthusiast Day will be held on Saturday, May 4, 10:00 a.m. to noon, at Tippin’s Pond, 421 Cove Rd. Sponsored by Pennsauken Township’s Department of Parks and Recreation and Pennsauken’s Nature Enthusiasts, the event, open to children ages 7-13, is an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors through a variety of fun activities.
“We’re excited to build upon the great momentum of last year’s inaugural event,” says Elwood Martz, head of Pennsauken’s Parks and Recreation Department. “We hope that even more of our families come out to have some fun by one of Pennsauken’s great natural features: Tippin’s Pond.”
Several activities are planned for Nature Enthusiast Day: a fun, nature-focused scavenger hunt; fishing contest (participants must bring their own fishing pole and bait); nature chalk art contest; and bird house decorating. Attendees are asked to dress appropriately for being outside in the woods.
The event is free, but pre-registration is required, as there are only 40 spots available for participants. Registration forms can be downloaded at the Township website, twp.pennsauken.nj.us, or by visiting “Pennsauken Nature Enthusiasts” on Facebook.
