Spring-break science adventures for young park explorers
Three mornings of kid-friendly field science—tracks, wildlife clues, and canyon ecology—based at Starved Rock’s Visitor Center near the Illinois River.
Event details
Turn spring break into a mini nature camp at Starved Rock, where young explorers learn to read the landscape like detectives. Each day focuses on fresh clues—animal tracks, seasonal plant changes, and the hidden stories of the park’s canyons and river corridor.
Programs are short, engaging, and perfect for families building an outdoors routine before summer. Plan extra time afterward for a waterfall stroll and overlook views—spring rains make the park’s sandstone canyons come alive.
