This is a “self-guided” activity–with a back pack of supplies provided by the rangers. \nActivity packs are limited\, so we’ll have to share amongst our group. The activities for the age groups go on different trails. So\, if your kids are in different ages\, you can keep your children all together on the younger trail\, or buddy up with another parent who will help facilitate the older trail. \nNote: Back Packs are available to reserve for your own family\, if you prefer to go alone at your own pace.\nThe activity is FREE\, but there is a $5 parking fee. Please bring cash/exact change to put in the dropbox. \nBring: $5/exact change for parking\, sunscreen\, bug repellant\, comfortable shoes for walking\, water.\nOptional: magnifying glass and/or binoculars. \nLook for Kim to greet you. Call or text if you’re lost along the way or running late. 803-307-4880\nContact colacityinfo@gmail.com with any questions. \nPlease pre-register so we can anticipate the number of participants and groups.\n\n\n \n Parent NameNote: This is not a drop-off event. Please include the name of the adult who will attend with the students.\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n EmailLook for an automated confirmation when you submit the form\n \n Mobile PhoneInclude a number just in case we need to reach you last minute.Participants name and ageUse the plus (+) sign to add rows for additional participants.

Here are a few ideas to get you started: \n\n\nDress like Abe Lincoln (and maybe even recite the Gettysburg Address) \nShow your salt dough map of South Carolina \nRead your report on nomads\n Build a model of a pyramid and show what’s inside \nSing a song from another country\n\nProjects can be something you already completed previously. We recommend projects that are hands-on\, interactive demonstrations or have samples\, hand-outs\, give-aways. \nTables are provided\, but you can bring your own table for your display. Set up from (10 am-10:20 am). Presentation shifts will begin at 10:30 am. Note: masks are recommended. \nAll Participants will get certificate and prize. Please pre-register so we can prepare certificates and space. \nPresentation format: The presenters get to tell about their project several times\, not just a one-time show-n-tell as participants meander and mingle. It’s also very relaxed style of presenting one-on-one\, rather than the formal “speech”. (Note: these pictures were pre-pandemic).\n \nMore Examples: You can pull together a really cool display by next week…from something you’re previously studied or currently are studying. Siblings can present together…or prepare individual presentations of their own. Either way is fine.
