Outdoor Exploration

Basics of Birding
With binoculars and books in hand, join the Outdoor Adventure staff for a walk around our lush 150 acre property to seek out and identify those winged beauties. This class, designed for beginners, will give tips and pointers on how to prepare for and get started in the world of birding. With the diversity of the lake, forest, and farmland right here on our property, you are sure to encounter various types of native and migratory birds and gain some memories along the way.
Bog Talk
Surrounding our glacial lake is an ecosystem teeming with life. Join us as we break down and identify the different forms of life the Bog has to offer. Edibles, medicinals, and endangered species of plants are just a small part of the Bog that is ever changing and fascinating.
Companion Planting
Join our garden team for this informative and fun workshop. Certain plant combinations not only add to a beautiful garden, they also work together to create an environment that will encourage growth and an overall healthy garden. Discover these combinations and their benefits and bring your new knowledge to your home garden!
Gardening Q&A
Whether you have been a gardener for many seasons or are just starting out, this class is just the class for you! Bring your gardening questions and thoughts and our Master Gardener and her team will help guide you to the answers.
Gardener’s Tools
It is difficult to know which garden tools are necessary and which ones will last season after season. Join The Lodge at Woodloch garden team and take a peek in our tool shed to find the must haves for any garden project.
Geocaching
Explore The Lodge grounds on a high-tech hunt for hidden "treasure" with help from our Outdoor Adventure Guides and a GPS. Usually off the beaten path and always a surprise, Geocaching is a fun way to learn about navigation and overland travel. Please wear sturdy shoes as many of the geocaches are hidden off trail.
Spring Awakening
Join the outdoor adventure team on a walk around the grounds at The Lodge at Woodloch as we peel back the blanket of our winter slumber and breathe in the new spring air. Every step you take brings new signs of life as the buds emerge, plants sprout, and animals come out of their yearly rest.
