Join the St. Vrain State Park naturalist for three days of fun this Memorial Day Weekend. The events start by enjoying a relaxing campfire, telling stories, looking for stars, toasting marshmallows and learning about creatures of the Colorado night on Friday, May 25, at 9 p.m.
On Saturday, May 26 at 2 p.m., visitors can learn about the many different species of birds found throughout the park. Find out what makes a bird unique, go on a nature walk to find birds in the park and make a bird craft. Then, on Sunday, May 27, get to know the park on a St. Vrain scavenger hunt at 11 a.m. and an afternoon of nature related games starting at 2 p.m.
The campfire event will meet at the park Amphitheatre, and all other events will meet at the Camper Services Building near Mallard Pond.
