Opt Outside Day  The day after Thanksgiving is often the start of a busy season for many.  Join us to get outside and take in some fresh air.

9:30 am-10:00 am       Mindful moments.  Join Park Interpreter Meg Doppée on a guided mindful journey.  As we begin to tackle all the end of year events and chaos it is important to take a few moments to yourself.  Learn a few tricks to stop all the racing thoughts, help with anxious moments and be better prepared for what life hands you.  Meet at the Interpretive Center, and we will walk a short way to our mindful spot.  Bring a chair, or blanket.  This will be outdoors to prepare for the weather.    If it is raining, we will hold this inside the Interpretive Center.  

10:30-12:30     Interpretive Center is open for self-guided hands-on experiences. 

10:30-12:30     Self-guided Family Scavenger hunt.  Bring your adventure spirit and see if you can find all the clues and solve the riddle. Pick up your first clue at the Interpretive Center.
