Point Nepean – Nature Play Week Treasure Hunt

Description

Be part of an Australian record attempt at Point Nepean

Calling all children and their parents! Are you interested in playing outside, do you love treasure hunts and would you like to be part of an attempt to break an Australian Record?

Then get along to Point Nepean National Park on Friday 8 April to be part of a giant nature treasure hunt, happening in parks all around Victoria at exactly the same time.

Kids will love to be part of the fun and search for things that can be found within the park such as plants, animals, heritage buildings, historical artifacts, beach objects and more.   An activity worksheet with 40 listed items to hunt down within the Quarantine Station will be provided to all participants. Parks Victoria Rangers will also be on hand to help the kids hunt down the treasures.

The treasure hunt coincides with Nature Play Week – 6 to 17 April – which is also part of the Premier’s Active April, an initiative that encourages Victorians to participate in 30 minutes of physical activity every day during April.

The treasure hunts, taking place simultaneously around the state, will be an official attempt to make it into the Australian Book of Records and you can be part of it.

“We know that kids who spend time outdoors in nature get a whole range of physical and mental health benefits. And what better way to do that than to enjoy fun in a park right on your doorstep,” said Parks Victoria Area Chief Ranger, Southern Peninsula, Kris Rowe.

Meet at the Information Centre in the Quarantine Station at Point Nepean National Park at 10.30am on Friday 8 April and bring your sense of adventure.

This activity is free. All children must be accompanied by an adult.  Bookings through www.juniorrangers.com.au/whats-on or call 13 1963.
