Come learn about the microscopic world in the soil!

This program is recommended for children ages 6-12, and children under 10 must be accompanied by a caregiver. 

Join the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory as we explore the soil! Discover mushrooms, decomposers, and more through hands-on activities. Participants will enjoy a mushroom dissection and microscope viewing, and learn about energy flow with a simple food web activity.

The mission of the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory is to foster curiosity and create educational experiences that inspire a deeper connection to space and the natural world.
