St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

Follow the sneaky leprechaun through the park on this festive adventure! At each stop along the trail, read the clue, collect a craft piece or enjoy a silly trick, and use the hint to discover your next destination. Once you’ve gathered all your pieces, head to Jane Stover Lodge to complete your craft and claim your prize. More details will be shared as we get closer to St. Patrick’s Day.
 
K.I.D.S. Camp Counselor Information Session
March 18 | 3:30pm | Virtual
Are you or your child interested in becoming a camp counselor? We are hosting a Virtual K.I.D.S Camp Counselor Informational Session to review important details about working at camp. During this session, we will cover everything from counselor responsibilities to how to apply, and other essential information to help you succeed as a counselor.

This session is highly recommended for all new counselors to prepare for a fun and safe camp experience. Please register through QuakertownRec.com OR email kidscamp@quakertown.org.

Bunny Trail 
and Spring Craft Fair
March 28 | 1:00pm-4:00pm | Park at 4th
Think of an egg hunt with a fun little twist! Instead of our traditional egg hunt, families are invited to join us for a Hop Down the Bunny Trail. Take a walk along the trail, gather eggs at your own pace, and enjoy a fun afternoon in the park. Because we love making things a little egg-stra special, we’re adding even more fun with a Spring Craft Corner, a Sensory Friendly Hunt, moon bounces, games and activities, a chalk and bubble zone, and a concession stand open for snacks. Save the date and plan to join us for this egg-stra fun spring celebration. We can’t wait to see families out on the trail for an afternoon of eggs, crafts, and outdoor fun! More information available at Quakertown.org/Bunny
