It's Thursday, so we thought we'd "bug" you. Except...

None of these critters are true bugs, although they are all insects. True bugs have a beak that they use to feed. Mantis and grasshoppers use mandibles to feed and this fly uses a proboscis.

We went out to the ballgame! ⚾️

Had a great time with the Lansing Lugnuts as their community partner and having the chance to talk to so many fans about the work we do at Woldumar. Go Nuts!

What a great year of camp!

It was quieter at the nature center last week without our campers around.

Sparking a curiosity, understanding and love of nature is what we're all about at Woldumar and we're incredibly grateful to the hundreds of camp families who chose to spend their summers with us.

This year, we filled 821 spots at camp over our 11 week run. We can't wait to do it again in 2027.

Hunter Drain cleanup was a big success!

Over three month, a bunch of volunteers came out to help us clean up the creek at Woldumar. Together, we removed trash, spill refuse, branches and invasive species to help make the creek cleaner and more accessible.

On our third and final cleanup, this dedicated crew of volunteers helped us reach 1,000 volunteer hours for the year! Thank you so much to everyone who came to our creek cleanup days. Your hard work makes a real impact at Woldumar!

Longtime camper → counselor→ bride!

Congratulations to Callie and Billy on tying the knot! Many familiar Woldumar faces (both past and present alike) bore witness to their heartfelt ceremony at Walnut Glen Amphitheater. We had such a great time celebrating with you and wish you endless happy wishes on your next journey together.
