Kick Off!
Hip Hip Hooray- Family Nature Club is back in session! Join other families to start the school year off with a FNC celebration. We will catch up with each other, catch some crayfish, play some games, enjoy a dinner together and end the day with s’mores. We’ll host a potluck and provide the s’mores.
Please bring a dish to pass! Meet at Riveredge.
Family Nature Club is a free offering to our community designed for kids, teens, and their families. We facilitate outdoor, environmental-education based experiences for families to enjoy together.
All ages are welcome!
