Habitat Helper day camps at Montour Preserve teach preschoolers about local animal environments

The popular Habitat Helpers preschool day camp programs return this summer at the Montour Preserve via the Vernal School Environmental Education Partnership. Sessions are designed for ages 3-6. 

Each program day is based on a specific local habitat. Students will learn all about it through hands-on exploration and snack, finishing the class with a themed project that improves their backyard. Programs run 9-11 a.m. each day. 

If you want to leave you child, he/she must be potty trained. If you have questions, contact course director Paige Zaktansky at [email protected]

​Courses will be offered as follows:

• Woodland habitat is June 3 and July 8
• Wetland habitat is June 4 and July 9
• Grassland habitat June 5 and July 10
• Soil habitat is June 10 and July 15
• Aquatic habitat is June 11 and July 16
• Personal habitat is June 12 and July 17

We strive to keep our programs free or low-cost to the public. Please help us achieve this goal with a donation to the Vernal School Environmental Education Partnership at the Montour Preserve.
