A multi-program event for elementary school kids at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. There are only two park interpreters to help run the event for what could end up being several hundred children all at one time. Number of kids is contingent on number of schools who sign up to participate. This could be 100 kids from one school, or 600 from six schools. Time will tell! The kids rotate through their or their teachers' selections of 8-9 interpretive programs/games that CAMN provides the staff for. Each program is 40 minutes, with 5 minutes in between to "change classes." These programs include Scavenger Hunt, Nature Game Relay, Reptile Roundup (Snakes & Lizards), Reptile Roundup (Alligators & Turtles), Mammals (Predators and Prey), Leave No Trace and the Bigfoot Challenge, Kingfisher Trail Hikes, and Insects - Join the "I Ate A Bug" club. It's possible to substitute one of our own programs for one of these, like Trees or Geology if those are options. Otherwise, we try to cover the programs on the PMSP list. In addition to 2 volunteers per program, two volunteers are needed to help run the check in table. Matthew Friant, head interpreter at PMSP, can provide instructions for each program in advance so volunteers have ample time to become familiar with information on whatever the objectives of each program are according to subject, questions/answers, props, rules of whatever game is being played or whatever objects are being scavenged.
Set-up is 8:00 a.m. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m., first come, first serve RE selection of programs. Programming itself begins at 10:00 a.m. The park provides lunch for all volunteers.

If the weather is rainy or storms are predicted, that day will be canceled.

This entire event will absolutely not happen without CAMN's involvement.
