Camp CornDodgers Week 1

1:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Welcome to Camp CornDodgers, our all-new, 5-day, farm camp program! All camps are held Monday-Friday, 8 am to 12 noon for ages 5 to 12. Each day, campers will learn what it’s like to be a farmer with a “work hard, play hard” mentality. Campers will start the morning with prayer, Pledge of Allegiance, and a story or book reading centered around the day’s activity. After our morning “chores,” we will enjoy a morning of learning and play. It is a wonderful summer camp opportunity to develop a sense of responsibility, form new friendships, and experience down-home fun on the farm!

Snack and t-shirt will be provided for each camper. Water stations will be available throughout the day. Climate controlled restrooms onsite. Early drop-off with breakfast is available for additional fee. Discount for siblings enrolled the same week. Prices increase 4/1/24.

Hummingbird Banding Program at Dothan Area Botanical Gardens

10:00 am to 12:00 pm

5130 Headland Ave

Here is your chance to see a hummingbird up close! Join master hummingbird bander Sarah Driver to learn more about these amazing and beautiful birds at Dothan Area Botanical Gardens (DABG) as she will attempt to capture and band local hummingbirds. Workshops will be held the 2nd Saturday May thru September.

The program will begin at 10:00am in the Walden Farmhouse. Registration is necessary and the cost is $10 for the general public or $5 for Garden members. Spaces are limited.

Driver has been banding hummingbirds for over 35 years and learned the trade from her great uncle, James Johnson, a master bander. Banding hummingbirds is a true skill because the birds legs are so tiny. There are less than 200 licensed hummingbird banders in the entire United States. Driver and her husband are new residents of Dothan.

Although 14 different species of hummingbird have been spotted in Alabama, the Ruby-Throated hummingbird is the most common. Hummingbirds generally migrate to Central America during the winter, but some do not. Their wingbeat is an amazing 20 to 80 beats per second and their flying abilities are well- known. Hummingbirds can fly backwards, forward, straight up or straight down, and even backwards. During their daily activity, hummingbirds burn a tremendous amount of calories and usually feed about 4 or 5 times an hour.

Driver will return each month through September to present additional hummingbird banding programs. Other program dates are August 10 and September 14th. All programs begin at 10am and pre-registration is necessary.

The Dothan Area Botanical Gardens includes over 20 different “pocket gardens” including a daylily garden, hydrangea garden, Asian garden, herb garden, demonstration garden and more. Other features of the 46-acre garden include “Wings of Wonder” Butterfly House, a wedding garden, gazebo, picnic pavilion, children’s playground and the 8,000 sq ft. Ralph & Carolyn Smith Botanical Center.

The Dothan Area Botanical Gardens is located at 5130 Headland Ave. in Dothan. The pet-friendly (must be on a leash) facility is open from 9am-6pm. Butterfly House hours are 10am-4pm. For more information, please contact the garden office at 334-793-3224 or visit www.dabg.com

Toddler Hour on Toddler Thursdays!

9:00 am to 10:00 am

8:30 pm to 10:00 pm

Instructor: Alexandria Turner

Ages: 12 to 18 years old

10:00 am to 12:00 pm

5130 Headland Ave

Here is your chance to see a hummingbird up close! Join master hummingbird bander Sarah Driver to learn more about these amazing and beautiful birds at Dothan Area Botanical Gardens (DABG) as she will attempt to capture and band local hummingbirds. Workshops will be held the 2nd Saturday May thru September.

The program will begin at 10:00am in the Walden Farmhouse. Registration is necessary and the cost is $10 for the general public or $5 for Garden members. Spaces are limited.

Driver has been banding hummingbirds for over 35 years and learned the trade from her great uncle, James Johnson, a master bander. Banding hummingbirds is a true skill because the birds legs are so tiny. There are less than 200 licensed hummingbird banders in the entire United States. Driver and her husband are new residents of Dothan.

Although 14 different species of hummingbird have been spotted in Alabama, the Ruby-Throated hummingbird is the most common. Hummingbirds generally migrate to Central America during the winter, but some do not. Their wingbeat is an amazing 20 to 80 beats per second and their flying abilities are well- known. Hummingbirds can fly backwards, forward, straight up or straight down, and even backwards. During their daily activity, hummingbirds burn a tremendous amount of calories and usually feed about 4 or 5 times an hour.

Driver will return each month through September to present additional hummingbird banding programs. All programs begin at 10am and pre-registration is necessary.
