How do you react when we see a snake? What about a spider, bat, or wolf? Join us as we peek behind the curtains of the myths and legends that tell us certain animals are spooky, use art to "de-scare" some creepy crawlies, and meet with a (very friendly) snake in person!
We’re spending our springtime days with adventure on the brain! Join us for a trip to Starved Rock State Park for a day of hiking and picnicking.
Transportation provided. Meet at Fox Center.
Hikers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult.

In this class, we will be flame painting on copper to create rainbow patina designs. We will then seal the finish with UV resin to keep it permanent. Also, we will learn how to make braised copper twisted wire bangles, rings, and more.
