According to the concept ORDINARY EXTRAORDINARY WALK, the best results in educating children are achieved by pursuing continuous activities in selected and easily accessible locations in nature. The CASPAR Center has chosen the Kamenica Park to be the central location for working with children out-of-doors, in the field.

The great area, its dynamic relief, wide accessibility to the Danube River, several wells and brooks, many pools, rich flora and fauna ..., all this being only 3 km away from the Novi Sad down-town, make this Park ideal for educating children.

The correlation between the Center and the Park is ample and versatile:

- since 2003, we have organized permanent educational activities for children of the SOS

  Children`s Village lying on the very edge of the Park;

- in 2004, we organized an extensive cleaning of the Park and initiated an action to incite

  the park visitors`consciousness for ecology;

- in 2005, we organized a training course for the instructors to educate children in nature;

- in 2006, the Park was turned into a "classroom" for the primary school kids of Novi Sad

  involved in our project "Nature Keepers in the Kamenica Park";

- two Ecological Reports regarding the present state of the Park were published by us (in

  2005 and 2006);

- in 2007, we shot a poetical documentary film "In the Park of Childhood";

- during the same year, we placed bird feeders, and during the next year bird houses were

  added;                         

- during the 2008 Labour Day Celebration, we organized an action to incite the park

  visitors`consciousness for ecology;

- in 2008, we completed the big data-base project and launched the web-site

  THE GREEN BOOK OF THE KAMENICA PARK;

- in 2009, we organized cleaning of the Park: the top success of the action was cleaning

   of the creek and pond;

- we have established a specific Park "kids monitoring" that has seriously resulted in our

   finding several rare mushrooms and animal species as well as in preventing damages to

   the Park...
