Children’s Museum of Art and Science holds sign ups for May art and science camp

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Children’s Museum of Art and Science (CMAS) is gearing up for its annual art and science camp to be held on Saturday, May 2, at the Ely Stage Stop and the Taylor Observatory.

This free camp is open to any fourth through sixth grader in Lake County. Permission slips and parent information letters will be delivered to each school office on Monday, April 6, and will be picked up on Friday, April 17.

Students may also register by going to the Lake County Office of Education Web site, http://www.lake-coe.k12.ca.us/ . Click on “calendar.” Scroll forward to the May calendar and click on “May 2.”

Please note that there are two different permission slips/parent letters: one for the Konocti and Lucerne school districts and one for everyone else. Print out a permission slip and either hand it in to your school office or mail to CMAS at 7417 Lakeland Dr., Clearlake , CA 95422 before April 17.

All students who are enrolled for the camp will receive a phone call home during the week of April 27 to May 1.

This year the Redbud Audubon Society is once again sponsoring an hour-long raptor show with live rescue birds.

Jenny Papka from Native Bird Connections never fails to present a humorous and informative talk with her critters.

The show will take place in the barn at Ely after students have enjoyed a tasty lunch created by the Culinary Program of Kelseyville High School and sponsored by the Kelseyville Rotary Club.

Students will spend half a day at each camp venue. They will rotate through three stations at the Taylor Observatory: a planetarium show, hands on time with microscopes, and a session featuring folk dancing and singing.

At the Ely Stage Stop students will create a sand candle, dissect owl pellets, and participate in activities led by the Ely docents which highlight life in the 1850s.

Participation is limited to 120 students so sign up early.

Adult volunteers and parents are always welcome. Call Carolynn Jarrett at 707-994-2878 for more information.
