Animal Camouflage (year-round)
Investigate how animals hide with a ‘hide and seek’ hike to find real, but not always live, hidden animals. End the class with a visit from a snake; a living master of camouflage.

Apple Cidering (Sept-Oct)
Using an old-fashioned cider press, make apple cider and learn about the natural and cultural history of apples. Enjoy a fall hike, time allowing.

Critter Walk (year-round)
From trees to bees and everything in between, explore Wood Lake to observe and learn about nature’s critters and their habitats.

Marsh Explorers (May-Sept)
Discover the incredible variety of animals, insects, and plants that live in the marsh. Dip into the marsh with a collection cup to explore the hidden depths of this diverse wetland.

Nature’s Needs (year-round)
Identify the things both animals and plants need to survive, listen to a story, then explore Wood Lake’s forest and prairie. End the class with a visit from a live salamander.

Senses Around (April-Oct)
Explore the trails using the senses of sight, touch, hearing, and smelling through a fun hike with activities.
