SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Every Wednesday in June and July this summer, elementary-age children will be able to participate in educational classes at the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center.
The Kids’ Exploration Wednesdays programs, which are free, will allow children to explore living in the past.
“I encourage parents and grandparents to visit our website to learn more about the classes we have planned for both June and July,” said Sara Olson, the Center’s assistant director. “When you register, you are registering for all four classes in that month. Consider signing up for both months because we have a lot of great activities planned for the kids.
Registration for the events is required for the event but the events are free. Registration ends for June sessions on May 24 and for July sessions on June 21. Parents can register their kids for the events by going to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center’s Website. Class size is limited.
