Wisconsin Explorers

Parents and children, are you looking for some fun things to do while hiking, playing on the beach or picnicking at the shelter building?

Become a Wisconsin Explorer and discover the natural world. Pick up a booklet at the nature center. The booklets are full of hands-on, exciting and educational activities for days on the beach, rainy days at home, or starry nights. Complete at least half of activities and return it to any state park, forest or recreation area. Receive a patch and certificate for completing the activities.
