Go WILD this week!!

I had the awesome opportunity to preview Fort Wild at The Charlotte Nature Museum last week before it opened. It was built with a grant from the National Wildlife Federation, and it is awesome. Definitely a MUST do activity this summer!! Here are a couple of peeks...

One of the vegetable gardens

The teepee

The bird blind

The pretend play space...these camp kids had created a farmers' market!
