Family Nature Club
We know finding time to get outside can be tough and that figuring out what to do once outside can be even more difficult. That’s why Riveredge Nature Center has started a community-based Family Nature Club series visiting locations throughout Ozaukee, Washington, and Sheboygan Counties.
What is Family Nature Club?
- Family Nature Club provides scheduled family time during the week, where members can work and play together outside without distractions.
- Family Nature Club gatherings take place monthly from September to June, and our club leaders take charge of all the organizing of trips and activities and allow families to focus on bonding, instead of planning.
- Not only will you connect as a family, but you’ll meet other families with similar values and interests and experience natural areas and activities throughout your community that you can return to again and again.
Ready to join the club? Check out the Facebook group with the button below to see what’s coming up in a community near you! The club is totally free, and you can join at any time- no long term commitment needed!
Upcoming Meetings:
Family Nature Club Kick Off! @ Riveredge Outpost on Thursday, September 7th, 5:00-8:00pm
River Ramblings @ Waubedonia Park on September 18 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30
