Camp Aldo Evenings: Foraging in Nature

Camp Aldo Evenings is your invitation to experience the Aldo Leopold Nature Center after hours—when the prairie glows, music drifts through the trees, and summer feels a little more magical. Join us for a laid-back evening filled with live music by The Spine Stealers, local food and drinks, golden-hour adventures, and hands-on foraging fun. It’s an event for adults, families, and anyone ready to unwind outdoors What to Expect? - Music by The Spine Stealers (acoustic guitar, pedal steel and vocals) - Cash bar with beer, wild-crafted drinks, and wine - Food trucks on site - A summer camp-inspired foraging activity (pre-registration requested) - Campfire and s’mores - Sunset trail walks through prairie and forest - Lawn games and activity stations Staff and volunteers will lead a popular summer camp activity: foraging in nature! We’ll explore the prairie, observe seasonal plant life, and learn about their traditional uses, including edible and medicinal properties. This event is FREE and open to the public. No RSVP is necessary unless you would like to reserve your spot for the guided foraging activity as space is limited and pre-registration encouraged.
