This National Canoe Day, we’re diving into the basics of paddling!🛶

There’s a reason so many people fall in love with paddling. Canoeing feels approachable, almost effortless. But water demands respect, and getting on it safely takes skill, knowledge, and focus. So where do you begin?

Our Assistant Program Coordinator, Dave Gantz, breaks it all down in his latest blog post. Head to the link below to read more!

🌩 We regret to inform you that the Bilger's Rocks guided outing for tonight is cancelled due to thunderstorms. Wet conditions also add risk on these rock surfaces even without thunder and lightning.

We are sorry for any inconvenience!

At this Art in Nature Wellness event, Ann Taylor-Schmidt will lead you through several exercises, approaching drawing from a whole new moving, sculptural, and vibrant perspective.

You’ll learn new ways to approach drawing trees, people, sculpture and have some fun doing it! Large paper, charcoal, and Spray Fixative will be provided, but you may also bring your own materials.

Registration is required and opens one week in advance!

During a Forest Therapy walk, trained Forest Therapy guide, Mary Price, uses a clearly defined sequence of events and invitations in partnership with the forest which allows participants to slow down, open their senses, and experience the environment.

Mary has a deep reverence for all natural settings, and as a forest therapy guide, she partners with nature to facilitate safe gentle walks with a focus on sensory immersion in the present moment.💚🧘🌿
