Description

Spring Equinox STEM Challenge: Orienteering - March 20th, 5-7pm ($8) On an equinox, the daylight and nighttime hours are equal, and the sun rises and sets due east and west. Celebrate this natural phenomenon by testing your skills in an orienteering challenge with a compass and map! All ages, register with friends or family and work together! 1 REGISTRATION = 1 FAMILY/GROUP ($8 PER GROUP) Summer Solstice STEM Challenge: Solar Cars - June 21st, 5:30-7:30pm ($35) The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, and to celebrate the over 15 hours of daylight, we're hosting a solar car race! Build a solar car (materials provided and yours to take home), decorate it to make it stand out, and we'll end the event with a race of all the cars built! All ages, register with friends or family and work together! 1 REGISTRATION = 1 FAMILY/GROUP ($35 PER GROUP) Autumn Equinox Celebration - September 22nd, 5-7pm (REGISTRATION OPENS IN SUMMER) The autumnal equinox is a time to celebrate the harvest and practice gratitude, so join us in the Gardens for a harvest of the Gardens (take some home, too!), enjoy music by the Central Wisconsin Symphony Orchestra, and all ages can participate in harvest and gratitude themed activities! Winter Solstice Celebration - December 21st, 5:30-7:30pm (REGISTRATION OPENS IN SUMMER) Enjoy the shortest day of the year with a night hike, an activity to give back to nature, and traditional winter solstice candle & wreath activities.
