We have several activities designed with particular age and activity groups in mind. From adult naturalist programs to Tide of the Toddlers, we have something for you and your family! Events are held rain or shine.

Registration is required for particular events. We strongly encourage registration at least 24 hours in advance, which allows our staff to prepare enough materials for participants.  Check out the events calendar for upcoming interpretive programs and activities.
