LAKE COUNTY – Calling all students in grades fourth through sixth!

There will be an art and science camp at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park and Taylor Observatory on Saturday, May 2.

This free, fun and educational event is sponsored by the Children's Museum of Art and Science, the Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association, the Redbud Audubon Society and the Lake County Office of Education.

At Anderson Marsh students will rotate through four stations. They will take a guided nature walk, hear about Native American culture and make a tule doll, dissect owl pellets and learn about Lake County wildlife, and participate in a rhythm band.

At Taylor Observatory they will see a planetarium show, make a sun dial, learn hip hop dance moves and participate in a drum circle. Students will be bussed to and from Taylor Observatory.

Clearlake Kiwanis will be providing a delicious lunch for all students and volunteers.

A total of 128 students will be able to participate. Parent information sheets and student permission slips have already been handed out in each of the county's seven school districts.

Student slots have been allocated based on district enrollment. In addition, 10 slots have been allocated for students who are home-schooled or enrolled in charter or private schools.

Parents of these students are encouraged to call Carolynn Jarrett at 994-2878 to request a packet. Any parents or adults who wish to volunteer may also contact Jarrett.

Permission slips need to be returned by April 10.

At that time a random drawing will determine the 10 lucky students and winners will be notified by phone.
