Family Programs 2012

2012 Dates to be announced

The Hazen's Notch Association welcomes families with its expanded programs for 2011. Join us for fun times in the outdoors with young children. This Summer we will offer guided nature walks, gardening, hikes, and camping. All programs will be free, unless otherwise noted.

These programs are primarily intended for families with children ages infant to age 8. The programs are free. Donations are appreciated. Please register with the Hazen’s Notch Association before your visit. Contact the HNA at info@hazensnotch.org. Location: Bear Paw Pond Conservation Area, 1000 Hazen's Notch Road (Route 58), Montgomery Center Vermont.

Family Programs in July meet at 9:30 at the lower parking lot of the Bear Paw Conservation Area. Family Programs Director Greta Quintin coordinates the programs with HNA Education Staff who lead the activities.

Each program has a different theme and starts with an exploration of part of the Bear Paw Pond area. Next is a hands-on art and/or craft project that adults and their children can enjoy at the Boat House. Each program ends with a picnic lunch and wading in the shallow area of Bear Paw Pond.

It is a 7 to 10-minute leisurely walk up a gradual woods road to Bear Paw Pond from the lower parking area. Changing rooms, a toilet, and a grassy picnic area are near the Bear Paw Pond. Bring your own lunch and drinking water. Programs end at 12 Noon. Parents must accompany their children on this program. Please leave pets at home.
