We invite your family to join our environmental educators for a weekend of outdoor adventure.  We will wander the rolling grassy hills and shady woodlands of Pepperwood, discovering what lives in the meadow and along the forest edge. Perhaps we’ll even find clues left behind by animals! We’ll play games and make new friends. As evening comes we will cook and enjoy a potluck dinner together, watching the sunset. 

After dark we will gaze at the night sky, and listen for nocturnal animals. Throughout our time together, we will gain a deeper connection to nature through joyful exploration. You are welcome to bring your own favorite stories, games, or instruments to share. 

Camping gear will be provided (tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads), or you can bring your own. 

Dinner and breakfast will be potluck, please bring something to share. You are invited to also bring your own snacks and beverages. 

At the Bechtel House where we will be based, there is a full kitchen and bathrooms available. 

Ease of access/hike level: This event will include an optional easy to moderate walk of less than 1.5 miles at a slow pace. The facility where this event takes place requires navigating a few stair steps to access the deck, interior of the building, and bathrooms. 

What to Bring:  Wearable baby carriers/backpacks are welcome, but no strollers please. A full list of what to bring and details to be prepared will be emailed upon registration. Please leave pets at home. 

Weather & Cancellations: This event will go on in light rain. However, it could be canceled in the case of heavy storms, unhealthy air quality or other unforeseen circumstances. In the case of cancellation, registrants will be notified via email.

Though we love dogs, pets are not allowed on the reserve. When visiting Pepperwood, please leave pets at home for their wellbeing and that of our wildlife. Thank you.

Please, no smoking at Pepperwood.

COVID Protocols: All events will follow current regional health safety guidelines. Please practice good health hygiene, and physical distancing when possible. If you do not feel well, please do not attend.
