The Pascagoula River Audubon Center will offer programs for students during spring break.
The Vacation Day programs are half-day programs for students to explore, through hands-on activities, nature and natural phenomena.
Designed like a typical summer camp day, students will learn about a topic through science, art, games, and more.

Let’s get creative! Each participant will take home at least 6 naturally-dyed eggs. We’ll do a nature scavenger hunt, plant some spring seeds, and learn about signs of spring. Pre-registration is REQUIRED by 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 12th for the natural egg dyeing program!

Wednesday, April 19: Migration Station
