Event Details

Grab your water shoes and let’s dive in! Come prepared to get wet and dirty as we wade in the creek to find some cool critters and talk about water quality.


This program will last around 45 minutes-1 hour and will involve wading in the creek, so please wear close-toed water shoes and bring a towel, as well as a change of clothes (if desired). Sunscreen and bug spray is also advisable. All ages are welcome but children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
