Upcoming Events

This program is cancelled due to site maintenance. 

There's nothing quite as relaxing as sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows and swapping stories. One Sunday a month, we'll be stoking the fires here at LSNC. March-November, we'll provide a blazing outdoor campfire and plenty of marshmallows. Bring your family, friends, camp chairs, outdoor games, and s'mores fixings. December-February, we'll have an indoor fire with hot cocoa and tea. Bring a blanket to sit on, board games to play (we'll have some too), and sledding gear if there is snow. Outdoor fires are held rain or shine (except for thunder and lightening), so come dressed for the weather.

No registration is required.

Get ready because LSNC’s beloved non-scary fall celebration, Animal Haunts, is fast approaching! This year we are hosting Animal Haunts: Sensational Swamps at Furstenberg Nature Area where you and your family can enjoy class-act performances featuring dancing Fairy Shrimp, dramatic frogs, and other swamp characters! We’ll also have festive fun with crafts, games, live birds of prey and more. Don’t forget to come in costume!

This is a candy-free, non-scary event for kids age 12 and under and their families. Participants must park at Huron High School and use the crosswalk to cross Fuller Rd to the nature area for the event.
