Event Description

When the sun goes down, the adventure begins! Join us for an evening of outdoor exploration as we discover the sights and sounds of nature after dark. Junior Naturalists will use their senses to explore the trails, search for nocturnal wildlife, and learn how animals adapt to the night. We’ll enjoy nature games, night hike, a craft, and a campfire snack before relaxing in for a movie (PG).

Drop off is between 5:30 - 6 pm. Pick up is between 8:30 - 9 pm. Please provide your child dinner before arriving. 

Time: 5:30 – 9 PM
Age: 8 - 12 
Cost: $30 per child
