Children’s Jewish Activity Program holds nature Program

The Shalom Children Activity Program (SCAP), a year-long program sponsored by a collaborative partnership of South Shore synagogues and Jewish organizations, will hold its next event, “Tree-mendous! – Celebrate Tu B’shvat, the Jewish New Year for the Trees,” on Sunday, February 9, 2:30-4:00 p.m., at the Mass Audubon Museum of American Bird Art, 963 Washington Street, Canton.

Families with children up to age 8 who are looking for fun, social, engaging activities infused by Jewish values and experiences are invited to join SCAP for a round-robin of crafts, cooking, and other tree-, fruit- and nut-centered “learning by doing” activities. Yes, Spring is just around the corner! Short nature hike weather permitting.

The schedule:

The program is free and begins at 2:30 with check-in. At 2:45, the “Tree-mendous” program begins. We will depart the museum at 4:00 p.m.

This event is for families with children up to 8 years old (siblings welcome), and is FREE, but registration is required.

The program will take place in the main building of the Mass Audubon Museum of American Bird Art in Canton. For directions, visit www.massaudubon.org/learn/museum-of-american-bird-art/location-directions/museum-of-american-bird-art.

This event has a maximum of 50 children, with priority by date of registration. Registration for this event is at our website at www.shalomcap.com. For questions or concerns, contact: [email protected].

For parents looking for some kind of Jewish family connection, SCAP’s programs and events are a way to experience, create, and celebrate together while meeting other families living in your area. No-cost once-a-month programs take place through June 2020 from South Boston to the South Shore, and participants are welcome to come to one or all.

SCAP’s partners include Cong. Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills, Milton; Temple Beth David of the South Shore, Canton; Temple Beth Sholom, Hull; Cong. Sha’aray Shalom, Hingham; B’nai Tikvah, Canton; Temple B’nai Shalom, Braintree; and JCC of Greater Boston. The Shalom Children Activity Program is supported in part by a grant by CJP’s South Area Planning Committee.
