Lost River Cave is currently accepting reservations for the 2013 Junior Naturalist Program and it is expected to fill up quickly. Each of the 6 sessions can be purchased individually for $10, or all six can be purchased for $50 per student. This program fee includes identification guides, field tools, as well a journal for each student.
Lost River Cave’s Junior Naturalist program is designed for children ages 6-12 who will meet every other month to discover, investigate and enjoy fun adventures in the outdoors. They’ll be learning about the intricate wetland ecosystems and crawling through muddy cave passages to learn about Kentucky’s unique Karst environment.
