Looking for a fun, family activity to get your kids brains and bodies active? Head outdoors to solve the mysteries that critters create right in you own backyard. This hybrid format program will include three kid friendly videos that focus on the clues animals leave behind and the cool adaptations that they reveal, along with an in-person, small group nature walk to look for critter clues at Wehr. There will even be a tracking themed Virtual Escape Room for your family to solve after your “Nature Detective” training
Group size will be limited for the outdoor exploration at Wehr to allow for social distancing. All participants are required to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth throughout the program.
