Location The Covered Bridge

Price Free

Calling all young artists and families! Family walking programs are back – spend an afternoon mapping and exploring the covered bridge and riverside trails with artists and educators Addi, Emilie, and Alexa. Learn something new about the natural world in your own community, discover special nooks and crannies along the Eramosa River, and celebrate your creativity at each stop with gently guided hands-on artmaking projects to make your own accordion book, inspired by the work of artist Carolina Caycedo’s Serpent River Book/Libro Rio Serpiente.

This program is designed for kids aged 5 to 10 with their caregiver, though all ages are welcome. Please note: children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. All materials are provided; no experience necessary; registration is required for both children and adults as space is limited.
