About the event
RSVP Required. Come join us for a crisp autumn morning exploring the beauty of the Fox River Valley! Master Naturalist Karen Davis will lead families on a guided hike through Dickson Valley Camp, introducing us to the native trees, plants, and even some of the insects that make their home here. Together, we’ll learn how to identify different species, notice seasonal changes, and deepen our appreciation for God’s creation.
After the hike, families will gather for a hands-on fall activity designed to help children remember and reflect on what they learned about trees and the changing season.
