We offer our Kids on the Prairie programs monthly, April-November.

Please register so we know how many people to prepare for.

• June 14 – Lost Lake Critters – Who lives in the lake? Take a look at tiny critters that feed other residents of Lost Lake. Observe painted turtles while we explore trails around the lake for signs of other creatures that call this their home.
