High Ropes Course

Can we squeeze in one more adventure before school starts? You bet! This time, we’re challenging ourselves on the high ropes course at Iron Oaks! We’ll work with partners to climb through the tree canopy – 30 feet off the ground!

 

Pick-up location is in front of Field Center. Meet at 9:00am for pick-up. Please bring a water bottle, a nut-free lunch, and dress for the weather.

Sailing on the Tall Ship Windy

Ahoy! We're sailing on Lake Michigan the old-fashioned way!

Join the Teen Adventure Club for a hands-on discovery sail on the Tall Ship Windy, a traditional four-masted gaff topsail schooner standing at 148 feet tall! We'll be exploring how these rigged ships work and learning the basics of sailing, plus what Chicago was like when these ships were the main form of maritime transportation.

Bug Hotel Workshop

A bug hotel is a structure filled with materials that different insects and spiders like to use as a habitat. These crawlies aren’t so creepy when they’re doing their part in the ecosystem! Join us in making places for our beneficial bugs to stay – that you can bring home! All materials provided.
