Crossroads Continues Summer Programming

In August, Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay continues to nurture learners of all ages by offering free family programs at 10 am, Mondays through Thursdays. Summer educator Joan Wilkie and naturalist Joel Kaminski will share the teaching responsibilities. Below are dates and topics for the family programs for the week.

On Aug. 8, study the amazing journey of migrating birds, then discuss the insects that also take enormous flights, like the monarch butterfly during the “Fantastic Flyers” program.

On Aug. 10, go on an “Insect Safari,” and hike into the fields and forests with collecting nets to find the insects and their hiding places.

These one-hour family programs, held rain or shine, are free and open to the public. Programs are held at the Collins Learning Center. Pre-registration is not required but if a large group will be attending, Crossroads appreciates advanced notice by calling 920.746.5895. Summer programs are made possible with a grant from the MMG Foundation. The Collins Learning Center, located at 2141 Michigan just east of the roundabout, is open during the summer from noon to 3 pm daily and during scheduled activities.
