Family Fun AT The Forest!

SIGN UP NOW!

Solar Powered Saturdays is a 10-week program designed for all ages — from infants to teens, alongside parents, grandparents, or guardians — offering a multigenerational nature immersion experience!

With weekly themes, gentle hikes on our 32 acre Arboretum-in-the-making, take-home crafts, and family-friendly learning opportunities, every Saturday is a new adventure with a focus on the power of our star, The Sun!

We'll plant in our community garden and food forest, make solar prints, map trails, roast breakfast over a campfire, and send your family home with new naturalist skills, memories, and deeper connections to our community and our planet.
