Some of the more expensive events will be offered at a discounted rate to members (we work hard to find alternative funding for events whenever possible so as to not burden families with extra costs). Nonmembers and guests can attend limited activities by paying a nonmember fee. Sign ups for each event will be available on our website and our Facebook page.

Adult team leader will provide nature lessons and activities according to what is happening in nature in the area on each hike. Members can sign up online or on Facebook for any hikes they wish to participate in. All supplies necessary for the hikes and activities are provided by the 3rd Rock Kids program.
