Outdoor Environmental Adventures

3 Cheers for Animals!
Recommended level: Daisy - Brownie
Here's your chance to lend a helping hand to animals. Learn what animals need every day to survive as you hike through Black Pond Woods then help LSNC care for our animals in our Critter House.

Senses
Recommended level: Daisy - Brownie
There's a great big world out there full of wonderful things to hear, see, smell, taste, and feel. Come and discover the natural world with all your 5 senses!

Hiker
Recommended level: Brownie
What are the 10 essentials? Should I take a map? We'll tackle these questions and practice our new skills on a hike through Black Pond Woods.

Letterboxer
Recommended level: Brownie
Cracking codes, word scrambles, and riddles will lead us to LSNC's hidden letterbox! Only the witty few find and stamp this secret treasure. Will your troop take the challenge?

Bugs!
Recommended level: Brownie
Under logs, on flowers, in the grass – bugs are everywhere! Roll up your sleeves and be prepared to track down different bugs. We'll find out what they're doing when we're not looking and how important they are.
Note: Offered only in May, June, and September.

Challenge Course
Recommended level: Junior - Cadette
Are you up to the challenge? Use teambuilding and problem solving skills to complete our course. Covers no specific badge requirements.

Night Owl
Recommended level: Junior - Cadette
What is the world like at night? Come to LSNC to find out - we'll take a night hike to explore the woods, then meet a nocturnal animal.

Geocacher
Recommended level: Junior - Cadette
Jump into a world-wide treasure hunt! We'll learn how to use GPS units, find caches, and track a Travel Bug's journey.

Camper
Recommended level: Junior - Cadette
Learn helpful camping skills as we tie knots, build fires, and discover the world at night.
Note: Only offered as an overnight program, please bring your own hotdogs and buns to cook.

Investigating Energy
Recommended level: Junior - Cadette
If you left the lights on, how much energy can one light bulb really use? We'll compare different light bulbs while investigating the DTE Energy Nature House – a "green" building. This complements the Get Moving journey.
