Details

Trek through forests, prairies and wetlands to learn about the different animal species that make Lake County home. Discover the unique adaptations of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects through hands-on investigations, live animal encounters and nature explorations.

This program is for children ages 6-7 by the first day of the program. 

Registration will open on March 3, 2025.

We design our lessons, activities, and topics to specific age groups to maximize their Summer Adventure experience. Due to this thoughtful strategy, we are unable to make age exceptions.
