It's a pumpkin party! Pumpkins are grown throughout Minnesota, and we produce about $7 million in pumpkin and squash crops every year! Join us for a half-day camp at the Maplewood Nature Center (2659 E7th St, Maplewood, MN 55119) to explore the lifecycle of a pumpkin by engaging in storytime, crafts, and snacks. We will taste what pumpkins have to offer and learn how they are low in calories but high in essential vitamins and minerals. Please dress in layers as we will be adventuring outside as well!
Registration is open from September 16-October 10!
Registration cost is $15 per participant, to be paid via Clover link (emailed to participants after signup). Spots are limited, so sign up now if you’re interested!
