from the Dunes!
Awaken your spirits and fill your lungs with fresh air in the Dunes this month. Enjoy everything from misty morning walks through the back dunes of Trail 2, to picnics on one of over 500 picnic tables in the park, to magnificent evening sunsets over Lake Michigan. Of course, no visit to the park is complete without a trip to the park Nature Center to take in one of many diverse, educational, and fun interpretive programs. Take a beach break this month and join us for any of the great programs being offered.
Here's a quick glimpse at some of the fun and educational programs coming up this month:
· On Saturday, August 7, join Park Naturalist Jenna for “Campfire Stories on the Beach!” Meet at the main beach, by the pavilion, for an evening of storytelling. Bring a chair or blanket to sit on. In case of inclement weather, we’ll be at the Campground Shelter.
· The 4th Annual Perseid Stargaze is approaching fast. Come Saturday, August 14 to the Tremont Shelter Picnic Area (parking at Duneside Shelter) to watch the annual meteor shower. Special constellation talks and sky storytelling will also take place. Activities begin at 8:30 p.m.
· Join us Wednesday, August 20 at 7:30 p.m. for “Who Pooped in the Park!” Meet at the Campground Shelter for 45-minutes of fun as we explore the facts on feces and the data on dung. Test your scat knowledge for prizes!
· Meet at the Nature Center at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 4, for “Beautiful Blowout” a 1-hour moderate hike to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Midwest from atop Beach House Blowout. We’ll also be exploring the twilight time for our nocturnal animals on the walk back.
