Looking for free family summer fun? Pack your lunch and enjoy a day outdoors on Picnic Days at the Tulpehaking Nature Center.Due to last year’s success, this event has been extended to three Saturdays throughout the summer: June 30, July 28, and August 25, from noon to 3pm. Families and friends are invited to relax in the shade and enjoy educational activities, and even a sweet treat from Rita’s.
Join Watershed Fellows Amanda Buchner and Giovanni Rivera for bilingual educational games and activities on the importance of water and the Delaware River watershed. Spanish-speaking volunteers will be on site. Guests will be able to explore the small but mighty creatures that live in the marsh, participate in arts and crafts, and then finish out the day with a cool refreshing cup of Rita’s Italian ice.
Picnic Day is free and open to the public as part of Tulpehaking Nature Center’s summer-long effort to provide engaging family programs. For more information, please call (609) 888-3218 or [email protected].
The Tulpehaking Nature Center is located at 157 Westcott Ave. in Hamilton. It is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm and Sundays from noon to 4 pm.
