Fall Family Weekend at ONSC
Kids at the Kings River Overlook during Fall Family Weekend 2010
Join us for a weekend in the Bear Hollow Natural Area! This low-cost, fun-filled weekend is a chance for our friends, supporters and former students and staff to revisit the ONSC campus. Activities include birding walks, hikes, nature-based craft activities and even some primitive skills and low impact living programs. Registration is just $50 per adult, $20 per child. Activities will be planned for ages 6 – 16, but younger children are welcome under their parents’ direct supervision. Registration and event activities begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, and we’ll conclude with a volunteer work day on Sunday, giving our closest supporters the chance to work alongside ONSC team members to revitalize the ONSC tent village!
