Acadia National Park and SERC Institute staff and volunteers invite you to a fun afternoon of nature activities designed for families on the SERC campus, Saturday, April 27, from 1 – 4 pm. Learn about the environment of the Schoodic Peninsula and about the animals and plants that live there. Become a salamander sleuth, work on nature arts, play games, be an NPS firefighter, and explore the SERC campus. Get outside, get moving, and discover the nature of Schoodic.

Looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon? Play mini-golf at the 1st Annual Trustees’ Tournament. The Library's inside will become an 18-hole mini-golf course. Each hole is different-with twists, turns, and obstacles – one will even go down the staircase!
The “clubhouse” will host free activities for children with a special visit from Baxter the Cat. Raffles plus pizza, popcorn, fruit and beverages will be available for purchase.
