Nature Day: Wildlife Explorer
Cast a track to take home and hike to our outpost camp to learn some survival skills. Try your hand at spear throwing and knocking down targets with rabbit sticks. Learn the basics of fire building and how to start a fire without matches. See live animals from the local area, including a snake, turtle, and alligator. Touch furs of native Texas mammals and discover their tricks to survival from a trained naturalist.
Art in the Park: Land Art
Land art is created outdoors and inspired by the natural surroundings. In this class, multiple hands-on activity stations allow families to experience various art mediums inspired by nature such as clay, painting, and printing. Then participants use found natural objects to create their own piece of ephemeral land art in the park.
