Ecological Gardens Series | Adult Full Moon Campfire | Ages 6-Adult
The moon is high and the skies are bright! Winter is the
perfect time to be outside at night, so join us for an evening
of exploring. We’ll cross-country ski if there’s enough snow,
otherwise be prepared to tromp through the snow off trail to
enjoy everything a winter evening has to offer. We’ll ski or hike
out to an area where we can relax around a fire with some hot
cocoa. Children must be accompanied by a paid registered adult.
Dress warmly and for walking in the snow. Min/Max is 6/15.
