Calendar

Bring the little ones to explore nature! We start our program by learning about a specific nature topic and then head outside to explore the woods and prairie at preschooler speed. Parents join in to encourage discovery alongside their child. Dress for the weather – we will try to go out every meeting! Give your children the love of nature.

Magnifying Glass Hike
As an explorer, we need to remember the small, tiny things that are a part of our wildlife community at Cool Creek Park. Equipped with a magnifying glass, instead of looking out or up, we’re going to look CLOSE. The kids will be amazed at a whole new world living at Cool Creek Park.

Creek Stomp
It is still hot in September. Wear your water shoes and we’ll head down to the creek. Be dressed to get your feet wet while we explore all the life - plant and animal - that calls Cool Creek home.

Not Spooky Snakes
Learn which snakes are native to Indiana - those that make their home in Cool Creek Park - and why they’re not so spooky after all. You’ll be introduced to our resident snakes at the nature center. We’ll go on a hike, identifying places where the snakes might visit the most.
