ABOUT THE EVENT:
Connecting with Community and Our Earth
Come together as we eat, connect, explore and engage with opportunities for environmental education, stewardship and action as we work together to care for each other and our planet.
Enjoy outdoor activities, art-making opportunities and complimentary admission to the DNR’s Outdoor Adventure Center along the Detroit Riverfront. Engage with hands-on workshops and activities designed for children, families and people of all ages. Nourish your body and soul with opportunities to purchase food from local food businesses.
The Outdoor Adventure Center invites guests to enjoy an up-close indoor exploration of Michigan’s great outdoors. The center features a 40-foot-tall, manmade, interactive tree; off-road vehicle, bicycle, kayak, canoe and fishing-boat simulators; a life-size beaver lodge and eagle’s nest; an indoor archery range; a 3,000-gallon, freshwater aquarium; a man-made waterfall with a 36-foot drop; and plenty more to see and experience.
