December brings one of our favorite traditions – the Night Tree event. We gather to read Eve Bunting’s book, make creations for the forest animals, and walk out to a bonfire to hang them on trees. Even though we can’t come together this year, we understand this is a special event that families look forward to all year long. As with most things in 2020, the Night Tree event has gone virtual!

Here's a loop that will take you through the various ecosystems across the campus and give you a look at our campground. This walk is just under 2 miles, and the perfect way to spend an afternoon. You get a little bit of everything – animals grazing on pasture, seedlings popping up in soil, and waves lapping on the shore of Casco Bay. Can you spot everything our educator saw on his walk?

In this activity we will take a closer look at what makes a fruit a fruit! This activity is great for upper elementary school students, younger learners with adult supervision, or for curious teens and adults.

Our educator brings Ghost, Jack, and Snuggles, our three Oberhasli goat brothers, out to enjoy some fresh air and pasture munching. Learn more about their breed, what they like to eat, and how you can interact with them in our fun & popular Goat Hikes—returning this summer!
