Curious Naturalist Club

ParkyThe New Curious Naturalist Club!
Do you know a 7-12 year old that loves to climb trees, explore outside, or just enjoys nature? Why not consider signing him or her up for the Hamilton County Park District's Curious Naturalist Club - a club just for 7-12 year olds that encourages participants and their families to engage in the outdoors through fun and educational activities. Participation in the club includes:

  • Free magnifying glass for joining
  • A birthday card with a free surprise
  • On-line access to CNC website
  • Special, "members only" programs at reduced rates. Programs in 2009 include a twilight bike ride, archery, and others.
  • Lots of on-line activities to help your child explore the Hamilton County Park District in fun and exciting ways.
  • A quarterly newsletter, accessible on-line.
  • Prizes for completing different numbers of activities, including naturalist-led programs.

When your child joins, they'll receive an email with the most recent CNC newsletter, a coupon for a free magnifying glass, and a password to access the CNC website. On the website, they'll gain access to the downloadable activities that encourage them to explore and learn about the outdoors. Some of the activities include:

  • Observe an animal in its habitat and creat a journal to record observations.
  • Interview a park employee and learn about their job.
  • Go fishing.
  • Learn archery.
  • Have a picnic lunch and invite some ants.
