Eco Adventurers (ages 11-14): Mind-Boggling Bog Expedition

Children 11-14 years of age are invited to join the Discovery Center for Eco-Adventurers, exploring ecological concepts while adventuring in a variety of habitats found around the Discovery Center. What’s mind-boggling about a bog? Bring along the bog boots and join the Discovery Center Naturalists to find out while taking a walk through our bog. Discover what unique plants can thrive in these nutrient-poor, arctic-like ecosystems and how these wetlands form. The Discovery Center can provide bog boots for participants who don’t have their own.

Children will be dropped off by parents and must bring along the following: water bottle, appropriate footwear/attire and any snacks deemed necessary for the comfort of the participant. Upon check-in, each parent will sign a waiver prior to dropping off child with Discovery Center staff. Parents and participants will meet at the front entrance of Discovery Hall. In case of inclement weather, indoor educational opportunities, like workshops and specimen exploration, will take place in lieu of outdoor activities. All activities and programs will be held at the Discovery Center campus.

Space is limited and registration is required by 8/04/2026.  This event takes place on Thursday, 8/6/2026, 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM.  $20/Non-Member and $16/Member.  Participants can be dropped off in the Discovery Hall.
