Archery Trailer at Brooklyn Flag Days

Kids (6 and up) and adults are welcome to give archery a try during Flag Days. The archery trailer is a mobile, enclosed archery range. We have youth and small (easy to draw) adult sized bows available for folks to try out. This is a great opportunity for experienced archers or folks picking up a bow for the very first time!

Nature Explorers - Fishing!

Summer Nature Explorers is a free program for preschoolers through 5th graders - though learners of all ages are always welcome! We will meet every Tuesday at Diamond Lake Park.  Some weeks will be a nature story and craft, others will be a short science lesson or outdoor activity. The same program will be offered at 10 am and 1 pm, come to whichever works for your family's schedule. Feel free to bring a picnic to eat in the shelter before or after your program.

On June 17th we'll be fishing! We'll talk about what fish we might find in Diamond Lake, and will have a few other educational activities set up in the shelter. We will provide fishing poles (big and little), bait, and tackle, and be on hand to assist as you reel in a big one! Grown-ups are welcome to fish as well, but they should have a fishing license! We will always plan to involve additional staff and volunteers on fishing day so we we can have a better kid to grown-up ratio!

RSVPs are not required, but they are always appreciated!

OWLS (Older Wiser Livelier Souls) - Willow crafts for your garden

Join us for a brand new program! This one is geared for adults. We'll have a different activity each month throughout the summer. 

In June we'll use locally harvested willow to create artwork for your garden. Options may include a small trellis or obelisk, a willow star for your porch, or a decorative dragonfly. 

Willow and hand tools will be provided. This program will be capped at 10 participants. If we have additional interest, we may schedule another session. RSVPS are required. Call Amy at 319-213-5607 to RSVP.
