Candlelight Hike – Ski – Snowshoe

Enjoy a romantic evening in the park by candlelight.  The Rock County Parks Department will be bringing snowshoes for use that evening, and you are welcome to bring your own snowshoes, cross country skis or other equipment appropriate for the weather.  

We will have a campfire with make-your-own s’mores and hot dogs available.  Other refreshments include chili – both a meat and vegetarian version, homemade cookies, and hot chocolate.  Bring your sweetheart, friends, the whole family, or just yourself and enjoy a beautiful night in the woods.  The event will only be cancelled if there is high winds.  Please call ahead if the conditions look iffy.

Teen Volunteer Naturalist Training

Are you between the ages of 13 and 17 years, love being outside and working with kids, and looking for a place to grow your talents?  The Welty Environmental Center needs you!

You may need to complete a certain amount of service hours for graduation, so why not enjoy the experience. 

Come to this training to get the basics of working outdoors and with children, and have a chance to have a say in this summer’s programming.  All activities will be hands on and outdoors as much as possible, so dress accordingly.  Bring a friend if you like.  All participants will need to bring a lunch, but snacks are provided.

Cost:  FREE!
