Imagine a forested spot in Androscoggin County where children and their parents could go to play. Imagine if you will a playground in a natural setting, but not a playground you would typically see at a school or inner city playground. Picture a ropes course, shelters made out of pine boughs and limbs, climbing structures made out of wood, rope swings, maybe a sandbox, trees to climb and areas to explore nature. Maybe there would be benches to sit on and some picnic tables to lunch at. A place where parent's could take their children to be in nature. This is a dream that I would like to see NKOA make a reality! So I just entered us into the Clifford BE Big in Your Community Contest for a chance to win a $25,000 grant. Let's keep our fingers crossed that come August 16, 2010 we will be a potential winner!
If we would like to send in any supplementary material to accompany our submission we can send in drawings, pictures and other items. If would be great to get some pictures from the kids with their ideas.
NKOA would also love to hear your ideas for this project!
We could also send a video if anyone would like to make one!
