SPECIFIC EVENT INFORMATION:

Mini Beasts and Bug Hotels 

About the Park: Kickerillo Park is very shaded by trees, and has great bathrooms (and showers should your kid need one). Easy access for strollers and wagons. There is a dock and water in the area we will be exploring, but it won’t be the main focus (Although, mini beasts do love the water!). Base camp will be at the Outdoor Classroom, which has benches for us to sit on. https://fishingsfuture.org/event/private-fishing-merit-badge-troop-1907/

Bring: general supplies (but no need for blanket), tweezers, and gloves.
