Evening Schedule
6:00 PM – Dinner Together
7:00 PM – Live Owl Presentation from Jared Everett, who is the Interpretive Naturalist at Hardy Lake Raptor Center. Join Jared as he introduces his feathered friends up close in an engaging and educational encounter.
8:00 PM – Guided Night Hike & Bonfire with naturalists Rod Goforth and Del Striegel, listening for owls and other nocturnal life. We’ll end the evening gathered around a bonfire with s’mores!Saint Francis and Birds
For St. Francis of Assisi, all creatures were brothers and sisters, bound together in the family of God’s creation. He preached not only to people but also to birds, reminding us that animals are teachers of simplicity, presence, and praise.
Bring your sense of curiosity (and a warm coat!). You’ll leave with more than memories—you’ll carry a deeper reverence for creation and the God who made it.“All praise be Yours, my Lord, through all Your creatures."
