Bring the whole family out for a weekend exploring the fascinating and often overlooked world of insects. We will search high and low, under rocks and in the water, for the many different species of insects that live at Opal Creek. Learn why they are important to all ecosystems, and the specific roles they play in the Western Cascades. August is a great time of year at Opal Creek, and we will have plenty of time to swim and snorkel in the cool pools of the Little North Fork of the Santiam River, further investigating the aquatic habitat of our local insects. All family workshops are kid friendly, feature hands on activities and are a great way to enjoy the Opal Creek area as a family.
Cost: $120 per adult; free for kids 0-5 y.; $60 for kids 6-12 y.
All overnight workshops include meals, luggage shuttle, and accommodations in the historic mining town of Jawbone Flats. Before planning your visit to Opal Creek, please take a look at our Policies.
