Mud Day is coming up this Saturday June 13th from 10am-Noon. With all the recent rain, we have plenty of mud!
Mud play is free and open to all ages. Participants MUST wear closed toed shoes that fit tightly on their feet-no flip flops, no crocs, no bare feet.
A wash station will be provided at the Education & Visitor Center to clean up before heading home.

Good day! We are asking for help. We could use old t-shirts (clean) and old sheets (clean, solid colors) for camp. We are using the items for a special project called The Camp Wishing Tree and some amazing fort building.
If you have these items, you can make arrangements with Michelle Cash at [email protected] to drop the items off at the nature center.
