11:30am Hop Scotch–n–Hula Hoops

Jump around and shake your hips outside the Nature Center.  I wonder who will hold the hula hoop up the longest. . . ?

2:00pm History Walk & Talk

If only the cedars could talk. . . !  Come hear about the rich history of the park as we walk to some old park buildings and take a cool refreshing drink from an old water fountain!  Meet at the Nature Center.

Saturday, August 8

9:00am Dixon Merritt Trail

Meet at the Nature Center for an easy half-mile nature walk through the forest.

11:00am Cave Talk and Walk

Under our feet is an underground world of caves!  Meet at the Nature Center wearing sturdy shoes for a short walk to the entrances of two very different caves and hear an interesting talk about how caves form, what lives in them, and how to protect them. 

2:00pm Nature “Name Me” Game

Are you a frequent visitor to the Nature Center?  Do you just think you know more about the names of animals, fossil, etc., than anyone else?  Test your knowledge with this fun game.  Meet at Nature Center.  (Ages 7 & up, please)
