Programs

Help light up the longest night of the year with lanterns and fire! Join the party to enjoy a lantern craft and hot chocolate in the Nature Center, s'mores around the fire, and a lantern hike through White Deer Park and Lake Benson Park. The hike will take place in two parts: a slow stroll along the paved loop of White Deer Park, then a hike through the paved and unpaved trails down to the shoreline of Lake Benson. There will be a stop in-between to allow those who are only interested in the stroll to break away from the group. Fee is per lantern. Registration and fee are not required for participants who provide their own lantern. Lanterns must be flameless and white. Families and unaccompanied adults are welcome.

Party Schedule:
4-6pm: Lantern craft, hot chocolate, and s'mores around the campfire
6-7pm: Lantern hike through the parks
