Archery Night

Wednesday, May 22

6:00-7:30 AM

This event is just for adults and great for all skill levels in archery. Beginners can get some personal tutoring and the “experts” can come out and display their skills. This is all for fun with no competition. We will provide all of the equipment you will need. (Sorry, no outside bows.) This program is for 18 yrs old and up. We will meet at the Visitors Center and be walking out to the range as a group – please arrive a few minutes early.

Registration required

Fee: $10 per person/$5 for members

All About Owls

Saturday, May 25

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Did you know that we have eleven different species of owls that call Michigan Home? Join us as we learn about the owls of Michigan and get a close up view of the ODC’s resident rescue owls. At the end of the program you will have a chance to get your picture taken with a real live owl!

Registration required

Fee: $4 per person, FREE for members
