guests from the Forest Ser-
vice, and the big project we
are keeping a surprise.
“Recycling is an impor-
tant part of continued life
in the Gorge, so bring your
kids down to learn about
and make it a part of their
everyday life in a fun way,”
said Smith.
Recycling Days will be

a.m. to noon. This day camp
is for kids ages 7-11.
