DO NOT CALL THE NATIONAL AVIARY’S NEW VIRTUAL SUMMER CAMPS Interactive online camps connect kids to nature from the comfort of their homes. Operating out of an abundance of caution in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the National Aviary is moving its popular summer camps online in 2020. Virtual summer camps allow for campers and their families to join in on the fun from all around the world. They’ll view exclusive live and pre-recorded content, participate in handson crafts and activities, and meet some of the National Aviary’s amazing birds, all from the comfort of their own homes. This new format allows the National Aviary team to immerse campers in behind-the-scenes, never-before-seen content – opportunities that haven’t been offered before during the summer camps. The National Aviary’s summer camp programs are open for ages 6 to 18. Under the tutelage of a camp counselor, campers will participate in engaging activities such as exploring a tropical rainforest through a habitat tour, watching a parrot paint during a live meet-and-greet, and learning how to make a hummingbird feeder. They can even stay active during bird-inspired yoga! Dates, Times, and Ages: • July 13-17: 9 a.m. to noon Ages 6-8: “Beaks, Wings, & Things” explores animal adaptations. • July 20-24: 9 a.m. to noon Ages 9-12: “Aviary Behind-the-Scenes” highlights how to run a zoo. • July 27-31: 1 to 4 p.m. Teen Camp – Ages 13-18: “Conservation Heroes” delves into bird and habitat conservation efforts. Exciting summer opportunities for campers to spread their wings with the National Aviary are open for registration. Visit aviary.org/summer-camps or email education.programs@aviary.org to register. National Aviary Summer Camps are underwritten by Dominion Energy. REMINDER: STATE ‘DO NOT CALL’ LIST IS PERMANENT A bill signed into law in 2019 amended the state’s Telemarketer Registration Act to remove a five-year time limit for enrollment on the Do Not Call List for residents. In addition, businesses can now register to be included on the list. The law also bans telephone solicitations by telemarketers on legal holidays and requires robocalls to start a phone call with a clear way for recipients to opt out of future calls. There are some exceptions, including: • Calls made by businesses to existing customers or to consumers who have conducted business with the company in the past 12 months. • Debt collection calls. • Calls from charitable, fraternal, or veterans organizations. • Calls made on behalf of political groups or candidates. Anyone violating the law is subject to a $1,000 penalty. That penalty increases to $3,000 if the person being called is 60 or older. To register on the state’s Do Not Call List, visit attorneygeneral.gov/protectyourself/do-not-call-list/. You can also register by calling 888.777.3406. n 6 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com
