Part 3 of 3 - August 10: "Rockin' with Rocks"

 

Join us again this year for Merry Lea Nature Explorers! Elementary-aged students can join us to get outside and engage in the habitats and landscapes across Merry Lea. Come explore three new ecosystems and discover multiple animal and plant residents through games, activities and trail investigations.  

 

Please note that this is part 3 of 3 in the Nature Explorers Series.

*Nature Explorers is designed as a drop-off program. We do have public events that are available for the entire family to enjoy if desired.

 

Come for one or all three programs! Please register for each part of the series that you will be attending! See additional details for each program below:

 

June 15: Hikin' in your Boots

Pull on your hiking boots and join us on the shores of many of Merry Lea’s aquatic ecosystems – vernal pond, wetland, and Bear Lake! 

 

July 13: Wadin' and Watercolors

Get immersed in a wetland ecosystem while learning about the small animals that call it home. Create your own artistic masterpiece to take home with you!

 

August 10: Rockin' with Rocks

Explore our gravel pit, hike along a glacier-made hill, jump on our bog, and rock out with rocks on this hands-on hike.

Cancellation Policy

Reservations for Merry Lea's programs can fill quickly, and quality experiences require the help of staff and advance preparation. A last minute cancellation is disruptive and may prevent a wait-listed participant from coming.

If you cancel a program that involves Merry Lea educators, you will be refunded:

  • A full refund if participant cancels one week prior to a program
  • A 50% refund if participant cancels from six days to 24 hours before a program
  • No refund if participant cancels less than 24 hours prior to a program

If Merry Lea cancels a program (due to dangerous weather, low enrollment or unforeseen emergencies) a full refund will be issued.
*Please note: refunds are issued through the Goshen College accounting office, and may take up to 3 weeks to process.
