Hudson Highlands Nature Museum's Sunday Fun Day Series: Letterboxing Workshop
On Sunday, September 7, at 10am, the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum presents: a Letterboxing Workshop! Come to the Museum's Outdoor Discovery Center, 20 Kenridge Farm Drive, Route 9W, Cornwall, to find out about the newest adventure activity that is fast becoming a popular family pastime.
Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime of "treasure-hunts" in parks, forests, and cities around the world. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by cracking codes and following clues. The prize: a miniature piece of art known as a rubber stamp—usually a unique, handcarved creation. Letterboxers stamp their discoveries in a personal journal, and then use their own rubber stamp, called a signature stamp, by stamping it into the logbook found with the letterbox, perhaps writing a note about the weather or their adventures in finding the letterbox.
Workshop participants will learn the basics of letterboxing make a simple letterbox stamp and actually find a box at the Museum's Outdoor Discovery Center. This family activity is not one to miss; it is fun for all ages. Recommended for adults and children ages 5 and up. Preregistration requested. Cost: $5. Members: $3. For pre-registration and information, call (845) 534-5506, ext 204. Visit the museum's website at www.hhnaturemuseum.org .
