Kids of all ages are invited to celebrate and play in the outdoors at the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore on Saturday, September 15, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. The program includes building forts, hiking in Miller Woods, doing a free craft activity, and feeding the center's resident fish, turtles, snakes, toads, and frogs.
Parents can watch their children’s creativity blossom during these relaxing two hours. Rangers lead the free program and there is no need to pre-register. Playdate in the Nature Play Zone will be held the first and third Saturday of the month through November.
