About the event

Want to know all about staying in the Overnight Lodge at Blue Jay Point County Park? Complete information will be provided at the Leader Orientation Workshop or LOW, which is conducted by Blue Jay staff once a month for those coming to stay in the Lodge. At least one representative from each group staying in the Lodge MUST attend a LOW at least two months prior to that group's reservation date.

LOWs are also appropriate for individuals interested in knowing if a Lodge stay would be beneficial for their group, even before making a Lodge reservation. You must be present for the entire workshop to be certified to stay in the Lodge. To read more about the Lodge and its Environmental Education mission, check out this info.

Nature Nerds: Fish Fun

Expand your knowledge of our local flora and fauna by exploring a different area of the park each month. Join park staff as they "nerd out" over a different group of animals, plants, fungi or other living things each month. Help collect data for our Biodiversity Project on iNaturalist while increasing your own identification skills. This month we will be focusing on fish! We will use seine nets and see what we catch near the shore. Feel free to bring waders, rubber boots, or other shoes and clothes you don't mind getting wet if you want to help use the net. This program takes place outdoors and may include walking distances of up to one mile on both paved and natural paths. Please dress for the weather, including sturdy, closed-toed shoes. Participants may request program modifications during the registration process. Schedule: Jun 19, 2026 Friday from 1pm to 2pm Duration: 1 hour Ages: 10 yrs +,
