Program Expectations: PARK WILL BE DARK. Program will consist of multiple activities including "mothing", star gazing, scorpion/centipede search, and owl prowl. UV flashlights, regular flashlights, and headlamps will be provided. Please do not bring SUPER BRIGHT white lights. This will negatively affect participants' experiences. All activities will be guided by a ranger. Please do not go off on your own with park equipment. *Some wildlife becomes more active at night. While this is great for experience, safety precautions are at a high.

Please stay with ranger at all times if you are not familiar with these hazards.*
