About this Event
Interwoven: Winter Holiday Celebration in the Great Outdoors
The Station Foundation invites Special Operations Forces families to celebrate the winter holiday season with an afternoon of outdoor exploration, imaginative play, and meaningful family connection at Owl Creek Landing. Amid the excitement and busyness of the holidays, take a moment to slow down and rediscover the simple joy of being together outdoors. Interwoven: Winter Holiday Celebration in the Great Outdoors invites families to embrace the wonder of the season by exploring nature, following their curiosity, and creating new memories through play. December offers a beautiful opportunity to notice the changing landscape, appreciate the quiet magic of the natural world, and find joy in the little things. With no elaborate plans or screens needed, nature becomes a playground for imagination, creativity, and connection.
Throughout the afternoon, families will have the opportunity to co-create their own outdoor adventure, allowing children's interests and imaginations to lead the way. Owl Creek features a unique play area for children ages 3 and up, complete with four treehouses, zip swings, climbing nets, and slides. Families with children ages 7+ can explore Nautilus Tower and The Whorl Slide, the longest steel spiral slide in the U.S. The Tower's spiral ramp rises eight stories high, offering a bird's-eye view of the forest below. The Treetop Trail Canopy Walk features suspended bridges stretching 40 feet above the forest floor, while a half-mile ground trail invites families to discover native plants and wildlife.
This holiday season, give your family the gift of time together. Whether climbing, exploring, or simply noticing the beauty around you, these shared moments offer a chance to pause the holiday rush and reconnect with what matters most. Through the simplicity of outdoor play, families can nurture creativity, reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and experience the restorative benefits of nature.
