Slow down and deepen your experience of the natural world with mindful observations.

Would you like to explore some techniques for improving memory, expressing creativity, building scientific skills, and increasing your connection to nature? Journaling regularly can do all this and more. We’ll help you get started with artist-quality tools, a variety of journaling prompts, and a non-judgmental, sharing atmosphere.

Who Is Invited:

This activity is open to ages 10 and up and includes both a seated activity and a short hike. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.

Where to Meet:

Park in Lot C and meet at the Amphitheater. There is a gravel path leading from the parking lot to the amphitheater, a distance of about 120'. The amphitheater is near an accessible restroom.

We will provide colored pencils and sketchpads, but you will need to bring a blanket or portable chair to sit on while journaling. You are welcome to bring your own art supplies if you’d like.

Dress for hiking outdoors. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, bug spray and a hat are recommended. Bring at least 1 liter of water per person.
