We will update this page at least weekly as events get scheduled. We will also update the whiteboard near the wolf (2nd fl WSTN) weekly. Also, some activities are weather dependent (cancellations will appear on the whiteboard). No activities will happen on official inclement weather days. Keep in mind that all activities are meant to be fun and are led by volunteers; this program is not intended to address specific health concerns (please visit your provider for that!)
