3:30 PM WILDTHINGS - Come out and visit Sizerville State Park. Relax, cool
off and take a dip in the pool. At 3:30 p.m., during the adult swim, ages 18
and up, meet the Park Naturalist at the Environmental Education Building,
across the parking lot from the pool, and investigate what animals live
right here in the Park. We will be searching for salamanders, frogs, toads,
butterflies and more! If you are interested in participating in the program,
bring shoes, bug spray, sunscreen lotion and water. We will be hiking
through sunny fields, or in the woods.

8:30 PM EXPLORING THE PLANETS – Do you know which planet is home to the
largest mountain in the entire solar system? Or which planet revolves around
the sun faster than other planet in the solar system? Answer these questions
and so much more as we explore the planets.

11:00 AM TRACKS AND TRACES, MORNING HIKE - Many times the only signs of
wildlife we ever see are the traces they leave behind…tracks, scat, etc.
Join the park naturalist for a short hike and learn how to identify some
common tracks, traces and discuss outdoor ethics. Meet the naturalist at the
Campground Amphitheater. Mosquitoes and other biting bugs are abundant, so
remember to bring your bug spray. Additionally, we suggest that you would
wear long pants.

If the weather is NOT cooperating, evening programs will be held in the
Environmental Education Building (across the road from the park office).
Dress accordingly for the weather; Sizerville can be damp and chilly, even
through the duration of the summer. Insect repellant is also recommended.
