This Summer, the Pocono Pathfinders are on Safari to discover the wildlife in the local park.

To learn about how these animals are adapted to their homes, we will animate insects, mimic mammals and “brooksnoop” for hidden water life. Each Pocono Pathfinder receives an official Nature Safari Certificate of Appreciation.

Join us in the study of flight as we learn about the many incredible, adaptable aviators of Nature: soaring hawks, hovering hummingbirds, darting insects, floating seeds and even flying fish, through investigative experiments, songs, games, crafts and hikes. We'll learn to call in birds by “pishing,” make fish that fly, discover the hidden life of a dragonfly before its first voyage skyward, and other secrets of the airborne. Fly!
