Free (Families Reaching for Educational Excellance) Second Saturdays
It’s a FAMILY AFFAIR at Raven Hill Discovery Center – every second Saturday in 2012 from February through June. Thanks to a grant awarded by the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, the Center has been able to offer the continuation of the Second Saturday FREE ADMISSION and special activities. Bring the whole family “team” OR make it a special event for parent and child. There are fun problem-solving demos & activities to fit various ages, abilities and interests every month. We are looking for funding for July to December 2012. Please no organizations or groups on 2nd Saturdays - remember, it's a family affair!
