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.
