A Day of Play & Celebration
Play is how we connect, to each other, to the land, and to ourselves. On May 17 from 11–4pm at Crystal Lake in Newburgh, the We Love Crystal Lake Series SPRING CELEBRATION invites all ages to explore, move, and rediscover joy in nature through guided hikes, eco-games, music, and hands-on activities.
