Outdoor Expo allows youth to explore

Hartley Nature Center is working again with the W.J. McCabe chapter of the Izaak Walton League to host Youth Outdoor Expo 2012 at Hartley Park.

On May 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., kids ages 7-15 are invited for a day of outdoor-themed fun and exploration.

Kids will work their way through stations where they will have a chance to try fly tying, bird banding, fly casting, exploring the aquatic world, a laser hunting simulation, building a birdhouse, and more.

There will be many experts on hand to help with activities and answer questions, and we’ll have fun exploring. Once again Subway will provide a sandwich for every registered child for lunch and Cold Stone will be providing ice cream.

Because we can only accept the first 125 kids, early pre-registration is required for this free outdoor event. So be sure to call (218) 724-6735 and get signed up as soon as possible. Registration is now open but space is limited.
