The Winter Queen: Feb Vacation Program, Ages 6 to 12

Dragon's Eye Adventures presents a February vacation program for ages 6 to 12 at the Landing YMCA in Brunswick. The program will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday, Feb. 21-24. We will offer After Hours from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday. Friday, we have a presentation for parents and family at 3:30 p.m.

Our mystery is "The Winter Queen."

The Winter Queen rides the skies on her white wolf, bringing fierce storms everywhere she goes. Can the Detectives find the key that frees her summer prisoner, or will winter’s bite eat away all prospects of spring?

This story is based on Irish and Scottish legends of the Cailleach Bheara and Bridgid. These old stories about the changing seasons make wonderful fireside tales for February, the month we all begin to wonder if winter will ever release her hold on the land.

Our brave Detectives will lend a hand with this year’s struggle between winter and spring. Children will need their winter gear, since we’ll be braving the elements this week!

Our activities will include sparkling Winter Crowns and Bridgid Dolls. If we’re lucky, we’ll have just the right kind of snow for building snow sculptures.
