You can come to the Nature Center lawn and pitch your tent at 4:00pm, but we don’t light the fire until around 7:00pm. Kids have night games in the lawn and, when the weather is hot, we get out all of the water toys.
Costs: $10.00 per tent or $10 per family if you do not stay the night. Register below to pay online. This fee includes one s’mores kit at no charge. Additional s’mores kits are available for purchase at $2 each (cash only)

We’ll gather every final Thursday of the month from 5:30-6:30pm at the fireplace (until it is warm enough 
to start having outdoor firepits and s’mores).
Readings are for both adults and another set for 3rd-6th grade (pre-teen readers). Then there will be a showcased picture book here in the Nature Center as well for our little friends who come and visit the animals during the day. This year our books all have a bit of magic in them. We figured life is a bit hard and we could all use a little escape. Plus the Nature Center is often described as a haven of magic so we thought we should read books that fit our gathering spot.
