About this event

Let’s celebrate winter and the new year! It may be chilly outside, but there’s no need to be cooped up. Get outdoors and discover how amazing nature can be during the winter months. We will spend the afternoon building shelters and fires. After we get a fire going, we will warm up by a campfire and enjoy some s’mores and hot cocoa!

This program will take place outdoors, so participants should dress for the weather. They should bring a mug if they would like hot chocolate.

Accessibility: We will go off trail in the woods to explore during this program. Other activities will be in a flat area outside the nature center.

Cost is $7 per group.
