What are you going to do for spring break 2013?
For many North Carolina parents, spring break is right around the corner, perhaps even next week. If you are still looking for quality activities for your kids to participate in, check out the following links:
Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs- We serve as the "clearinghouse" or central source for environmental education resources across the state. We host an extensive list of Environmental Education Centers and a calendar of events for families and the general public to find quality programs and outdoor opportunities, many of which are free. Not all of our education centers post events to our calendar. By visiting this link, you can search for education centers a certain distance from your home and then visit their individual websites to see what is happening. But you might just find something on our calendar if you start there!
Here is a small sampling from our calendar and website:
