Many visitors to Weldon Springs in the summer months regularly make it a point to visit the schoolhouse and nature center.
The schoolhouse and nature center are open, and on the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Patti Kinder, Conservation Education Representative, told Regional Radio they have had a busy start to the season.
The one-room schoolhouse is always a learning experience for young kids. Kinder explains many kids find it hard to believe kids of different grade levels would share the same classroom.
One of the unique aspects of the schoolhouse and nature center at Weldon Springs is that it is almost exclusively hands-on. Kinder points out they have several animals for students to touch and hold.
The season of activities is underway for Weldon Springs. Kinder is beginning a walking group at the park, and the first is this coming Thursday. Anyone interested in a light walk can meet at the schoolhouse at 10 am.
It will be a busy weekend at Weldon Springs. We'll have more on the activities for Father's Day Weekend and Flag Day at Weldon Springs later this week on Regional Radio.
