With our record-breaking reader post about the 1000 Days Outside Challenge, we promised to bring you more Outdoor Play Events! We also plan to protect you on those days out in the elements! We hope to do this thru online resources and in-person events!
In-Person Event: Saturday, June 29th — Nature Hike, Play Date and Natural Protectors Class!
Wellness Saturday: Natural Protectors
WHEN: June 29 @ 9:30 am – 10:30 am
WHERE: Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, at 8480 Hagy’s Mill Road, Philadelphia, PA 19128
WHO: Led by Nature Educator Alyssa Maley, join families and all ages of outdoor enthusiasts
WHAT: We’ll start this wellness program with a short walk along our trails and getting to know each other! Then we will settle down to discuss ways we can use natural ingredients to make common household items, such as lip balm, sunscreen, and bug repellent. Harsh chemicals can be found in everything from cleaning products to cosmetics and now more recent truth bombs of children’s cereals and of sunscreen! We need healthy alternatives before we get out there!
RSVP: No registration or payments required; however, your rsvp is appreciated! Walk-Ins welcome! RSVP via the Facebook Event or contact Alyssa!
CONTACT: Please contact Alyssa Maley.
This event is part of “Wellness Saturdays Series”, which welcome in the warmer weather with a variety of wellness exercises and programs on the natural landscape of the Schuylkill Center. Their wellness programs occur on the last Saturday of every month and are free to the public. All programs are held outside on our beautiful trails so please dress for the weather. No registration required but RSVPs appreciated!
