Great Basin National Park has a kids program almost every day at 1:30 (and sometimes on weekends at 9:30), so we decided to go check one out. It was Make Your Own Cave day, and the kids each got to select a box and get some clay to make their cave.
Ranger Nomi showed the kids how to make the clay into different shapes.
Desert Girl was very excited to be participating like a big girl. Oh yeah, the glue may have been a huge incentive. She doesn't get to do glue very often because she has a way of making the glue go every where in the house, especially on the carpet.
Her cave soon started looking really good. Some of the bigger kids added animals to their caves. Each one was unique. Best of all, it kept the kids happily entertained for about 45 minutes!
To find out about the kids programs and other programs offered, check the park website section of
ranger programs. If you click the link under Evening Campground Programs, you can find the schedule for the week. Or you can call the park at 775-234-7331.
Very cool!
