Excitement is brewing at Webster Parish Libraries as they gear up to celebrate a special birthday this summer. Discovery Campers will have the unique opportunity to join Smokey the Bear as he marks his 80th birthday as part of the library’s summer activities.
The announcement was made through a Facebook post by Webster Parish Libraries, inviting children and families to partake in the festivities. The camp aims to combine fun and learning, focusing on nature, wildlife, and conservation through Smokey’s Reading Challenge.
During Discovery Camp, campers will delve into books about nature, wildlife, and conservation, immersing themselves in Smokey’s world. The program is designed not only to educate but also to inspire action. Participants will learn about wildfires and discover ways they can contribute to environmental protection.
As the iconic saying goes, “Only you can prevent wildfires.” Through reading, learning, and taking action, Webster Parish Libraries aim to empower children to become stewards of the environment and champions for conservation.
The celebration of Smokey the Bear’s 80th birthday promises to be an exciting and educational journey for Discovery Campers. With Smokey leading the way, participants are set to embark on a summer filled with adventure, discovery, and a deeper appreciation for nature.
