Have you ever had the pleasure of dining with a snake? Sabrina the python and her scaly friends will join you while you dine on freshly made pancakes, sausage, and milk. While you munch away, a natu- ralist will teach you about the slithering residents of Pilcher Park Nature Center. After breakfast, you will have the opportunity to touch our reptile friends and make a fun craft.
Learn about those hippity hoppity creatures called frogs – their di erent frog calls, where they live, how they catch their food, and their habitats. We’ll roast marshmallows around a cozy camp re then we’ll take a hike, search for frogs, and learn some more about them. Bring your ashlights and boots. Wear long sleeves, pants and bug repellent.
