WOC-ly OUTING CLUB CALENDAR March 28 - April 4 Hello WOC family! Come check out some of the awesome outdoor events we have going on this week. All events are open to the Williams College community. Announcements *Volunteer to help with art projects with kids...* Would you like to put together easy art projects for kids? Lehman Community Engagement is putting together a collection of instruction sheets and short videos for art projects that elementary-aged students can do at home. These art projects will use materials that can be found outside, like pinecones, sticks, or leaves, and other art supplies that are commonly found in homes. The goals of this project are to motivate children to be outside, as they have been spending a lot of time on a computer for school, and to encourage children to spend more time on art! Each volunteer signed up for this project will come up with their own art project and create an instruction sheet. A short video to go along with the instruction sheet is optional. The art project instruction sheets will include a photo of the craft, materials needed, and instructions, and will be distributed to elementary aged kids in Williamstown and North Adams. Fill out this google form if you are interested! There will be two short zoom sessions to go over requirements and tips for making these art project instructions on Thursday, April 1 at 8pm & Saturday, April 3 at 10:30am (you only need to attend one of them). Please contact Sam Kilcoyne ([log in to unmask]) or Eva Castagna ( [log in to unmask]) with any questions! We can't wait to see what you come up with! đ Google form link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfuq8omGcjA2iT1DI6Ic1KiGQy8sOmAGLZ1_DHSvE92_-MAFg/viewform?usp=sf_link Interested in leading WOC trips???
