Event details

School is out for summer! Say goodbye to books, homework and school routines and hello to the first official day of summer. Learn what the summer solstice is while hiking in the forest to see how the sun brings life and makes things grow. Return to the campfire to make s’mores and an outdoor summer to-do list. Not sure what to add to the list? Our naturalist will have plenty of ideas.
