Are you looking for a fun activity that you and your child can do? A way to connect with your natural environment? If so, you should look into your child becoming a Young Naturalist at Willow River State Park. Willow River State Park puts on Young Naturalist classes for Preschool-Elementary aged children throughout the year. Theses classes are 1.5 hours long and have a different environmental/recreational theme to them. They range from learning about plants, animals, fishing, habitats, snowshoeing, skiing, questing, and more. We go on hikes, do hands-on activities, do nature crafts, story time, play games, and more!
These classes are free to attend and vehicle admission into the park is required.
For an up to date class listing, please visit our website at www.willowriverowls.org.
