Volunteers will engage families in this game where they will explore the different phases of the water cycle. This activity station is a part of the A Place for You summer programming. Participants at the station will also be able to make a bracelet to represent the water cycle and be a memory keepsake in this unique program opportunity.
Volunteers contribute their time and talents, adding excitement and perspective to these family-friendly activities, enhancing the visitor experience. and creating a more engaging program. Program Support Volunteers are welcome and can participate in various entry-level opportunities to support our programs—typically, no expert knowledge is required. However, volunteers who support this station should enjoy working directly with children and families.
