Holiday Camps

The new Ruffner Mountain Nature Center is open and it's beautiful.  This is a wonderful place to hike and enjoy a picnic near the city.  It also provides a glimpse into Birmingham's history and knowledge of native plants and animals.  We enjoyed a wonderful field trip for 6 yr olds and a great 1/2 mile geological hike.  They have many events that are included on the BirminghamMom.com calendar.

From a local mom:  "Birthday party at the zoo for a 5 yr old and everyone had a great time.   Refreshments were provided and served.  The kids got to touch some animals, ride the train and the carousel. No clean up so I go to enjoy the party with everyone else."

The YMCA offers countless opportunities for Moms to keep themselves and their families healthy and active. YMCA branches are located throughout the Birmingham area and offer classes, childcare, summer camp opportunities, sports camps, Spring Break camps and a wide variety of opportunities.
