For tweens ages 9 to 13 years old.
Get ready to explore the outdoors at Critter Creek. Each week, we’ll meet at the library and head out together to discover nearby creeks, ponds, and forests through guided activities, nature journaling, and hands‑on exploration. Inspired by forest school, this program encourages curiosity, confidence, and a sense of adventure. You’ll investigate nature up close, try new things, and may even spot local wildlife along the way.
Participants travel together as a group with staff and return to the library at the end of each session. Please dress for the weather and outdoor conditions - rain or shine. If severe weather occurs, the program will move indoors.
Attention Caregivers: When you register your child, you are giving permission for them to go off library property with staff as part of the program and engage in outdoor activities.
For tweens ages 9 to 13 years old. Please register each tween attending separately.
