Archery
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at archery but haven’t had the chance? Or maybe you tried it out as a kid at summer camp but haven’t picked up a bow since. Here’s your chance to learn the basics of shooting a compound bow alongside other beginners interested in this new skill. We’ll discuss bow mechanics and safety before we give you the opportunity to practice your aim.
Wild Edibles
Celebrate the fall season by learning about one of Missouri’s favorite fall fruits, the American persimmon. We will provide tips on how to identify persimmon trees and harvest their fruits while learning the benefits they provide to people and wildlife. We’ll end the program with a taste test of a delicious persimmon treat.
Ages 12+, registration opens @7pm October 13.
Native Plants
Seeds are amazing! Some fly, some stick, some roll; hopefully landing on a nice spot to grow. We’ll delve deep into the life cycle of a plant focusing on seedling structures, seed dispersal, and germination. We will conduct some seed experiments, go outside on a seed hunt, and make a fun seed mosaic craft.
