Take a Child Outside Week
"Afternoon Adventure: Get Moving!"
- Friday, September 27, 2013 – 2:00 pm–4:00 pm
Take Your Child Outside week runs annually from September 24 to September 30. The week is an initiative of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences with the goal of "helping children across the country develop a better understanding and appreciation of the environment in which they live."
Each day will bring a new activity for all ages at the Arboretum. Come for one day or every day of the week!
Friday's Activity
WCPSS Early Release Program: Get Moving! Explore the gardens while you search for five scavenger hunt questions. Try to guess the answers before you reach the end of the trail.
