Nature Fun for Kids: Make a Journey Stick

Nature Fun For Kids is back for an exciting new program. The free event for kids ages 4-7 is Saturday, April 19, 2:00-3:30 p.m. at the Scio Woods Preserve (Scio Church Rd, Lakewood, MI 48103). Kids will create a Journey Stick of their own while learning about the colors of spring. Specifically, what color is the sound of a Robin singing?

In many countries, native people have developed the idea of creating a journey stick to help tell the story of their travels to others. In this kids hiking program, participants will tie objects and colors to a stick to represent different experiences, feelings or parts of the journey.

Pre-registration for this free event is required and programs tend to fill quickly. To register, email Shawn at severances@ewashtenaw.org or call 971-6337 x335.
