Winter Vacation Family Explorations

Spend winter vacation discovering the outdoors with your kids during Winter Vacation Family Explorations, a series of three free outings in Acushnet and Mattapoisett during winter vacation week hosted by the Buzzards Bay Coalition. Through fun games and hands-on activities, your whole family will learn about winter animals, plants and habitats in the Buzzards Bay region.

On Tuesday, December 26, take a short hike and learn how to write poetry inspired by the natural scenery at The Sawmill (32 Mill Road, Acushnet). On Wednesday, December 27, learn the basics of orienteering through a fun series of challenges at The Bogs (138 Acushnet Road, Mattapoisett). And on Thursday, December 28, conduct cool science experiments with water at The Sawmill. All three programs run from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.

These programs are recommended for families with elementary school-aged children. Families are encouraged to attend all three programs, but it isn’t required.

Registration is required for all programs. To RSVP, visit www.savebuzzardsbay.org/events or contact the Buzzards Bay Coalition at 508-999-6363 ext. 219.

This event is part of Discover Buzzards Bay, an initiative to help people across the Buzzards Bay region find unique and exciting ways to explore the outdoors, get some exercise and connect with nature. Local residents can use Discover Buzzards Bay to get outside and discover woods, wetlands and waterways from Fall River to Falmouth. To learn more, visit savebuzzardsbay.org/discover.
