If you’ve skipped a stone across a pond, played in sand, or let out ‘how in the world did that happen’ when you spy rock layers tilted or on edge, this program identifies those geologic wonders. The evening program explains and explores the mysteries of “rock.” The next morning, attendees “roll” out for a mid-morning hike to learn about geology, topography and more. This earth science program format is hands-on activity for scout and 4-H groups, families and future geologists. There is no charge to attend. For details, call 304-866-4121 x2788
