Nature Explorers

Nature Explorers is a free program for preschoolers through 5th graders - though learners of all ages are always welcome! We will meet every other Tuesday at the Main Shelter at Diamond Lake Park.  After restroom facilities close for the season we'll meet in the Foster Center. The same program will be offered at 10 am and 1 pm, come to whichever works for your family's schedule. Feel free to bring a picnic to eat in the shelter before or after your program!

Amy will send a text out on Monday to let you know what to expect (ex: we'll be hiking you might want boots and a baby carrier; it's surprisingly chilly, we're moving indoors etc.) call or text to get on the text reminder list. 

RSVPs are not required, but they are always appreciated!

Wreath Making and Other Holiday Crafts

Once again we'll be turning the Foster Center at Diamond Lake into a holiday workshop! Try your hand at a variety of holiday crafts including evergreen wreaths, ornaments made with natural materials, and upcycled cards and envelopes.

If you'd like to make a wreath there is a suggested donation of $3 to cover materials. We will provide evergreen boughs, natural seed heads, and wreath frames (8" or 14" diameter), wire, and tools (pruners, pliers etc.). If you would like to reuse an wreath frame you already have at home, you would be more than welcome to bring it. You may also bring any ribbons, bows, dried flowers, or other embellishments you might want for your wreath. Please avoid bringing lots of glitter and/or plastic!

RSVP required! Email Amy at adurbin@poweshiekcounty.org or call 319-213-5607 during business hours. 

When you RSVP please let Amy know how many in your group want to make wreaths so we can be sure to have plenty of supplies!
