River Rats will continue each month, focusing on a new and different theme each time.

The program will meet on Saturdays, April 4, 11, 18 and 25, from 10:30 a.m. until noon.

Fee for the four-session program is $36 per child and registration and payment can be made online at the Somerset County Park Commission’s website, in person at the Environmental Education Center, via mail or via telephone (if using credit card).

Enrollment for the River Rats program is a first come, first served basis.
