Over 25 years ago, ODC Network began as a single nature center. Since then, the organization has flourished into a leader in connecting conservation, education, and outdoor access—all inspired by the belief in the power of nature to improve lives. Through years of growth and change, the Outdoor Discovery Center, ODC Network’s flagship campus and the place where it all began, has continued to evolve alongside the organization itself.

Now, a new chapter begins.

From the Spoelhof Family Visitor Center and DeVisser Family Discovery Pavilion to the newly created Haworth & Klow Family Imagination Forest, the spaces that welcome visitors to ODC have been thoughtfully reimagined to create opportunities for exploration, discovery, and outdoor play for all ages. Designed to inspire curiosity and connection, these spaces invite visitors to splash in flowing water, climb beneath the trees, wander winding pathways, gather with friends, and simply slow down. 

“The transformation of this property gives our visitors a world-class outdoor experience—with spaces built for adventure, discovery, and the kind of learning that only happens in connection with nature,” said Travis Williams, CEO of ODC Network. “More importantly, these spaces reflect what we’ve learned over the past 25 years: when people have opportunities to play, explore, and connect outdoors, communities are stronger and people thrive.”

On June 20, we’re opening the doors, and we’d love for you to be among the first to explore.
