RBNC to host themed summer camps to ‘take kids outside'
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — River Bend Nature Center offers students fun learning experiences year-round. While spring break is on everyone's mind, summer brings multiple week-long themed camps.
While each camp will run Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until noon, each of the four camps has a unique theme this year.
Insectopia – June 9-13
Trail Blazers – June 23-27
Mad Science Lab – July 7-11
Wild Critters – July 21-25
Wichita Youth Football League aims to give athletes exposure through tournament
These camps are based on hands-on experiences for kids aged 4 to 11. The cost is $110 per child or $100 if they are RBNC members.
For Erika Mitchell, RBNC Education Director, it is all about getting the kids outside.
'I love being able to take kids outside,' Mitchell said. 'So kids that don't have as much time to go outside for recess or live in apartments that don't have close access to parks, it's just being able to go outside in the trail and see what North Texas looks like when we don't build on it.'
Information on each camp can be found on RBNC's website.

Local veterans depart on Honor Flight trip
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Local veterans departed on Friday morning on an Honor Flight of the Appalachian Highlands (HFAH) trip hosted by Antioch Baptist Church. The missions are provided at no cost to veterans and give them an opportunity to visit memorials throughout Washington D.C. to honor their service, sacrifice and valor. HFAH President Michelle Stewart said 19 veterans are going on the trip this weekend, including one Korean War veteran and Vietnam veterans. Deputy Governor, TDOT Commissioner steps away after seven years 'Many of these veterans, especially the Vietnam veterans, were not welcomed home,' Stewart said. 'They were treated so poorly. This is the community's opportunity to change that and to say to them, welcome home. Oftentimes, the veterans on the bus are so shocked that people came out just to welcome them home. It means so much to them to have a crowd here to welcome them home.' The trip is expected to arrive back in Johnson City around 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information on HFAH, click here.
