Calendar

The Riverside Campout and Movie Night will take place in Grover's Bend (by Pebble Beach) on April 17th. Tent setup can start as early as 2:30pm and we'll serve hotdogs and chips for dinner at 6:30pm. After dinner, we'll have campfires burning so marshmallows can be roasted for s'mores. The Little Rascals will be shown on our inflatable movie screen at 8pm, followed by "lights out." All are welcome to join for the movie and camping or just the movie if camping isn't your thing. We just ask that people let us know they're coming so we can make sure we have enough food for everyone. We also have a limited number of tents available to reserve ($25 refundable deposit required). So come on out and enjoy a night under the stars with us... and bring the whole family!

It’s another dino craft because we LOVE dinosaurs! Fun fact: Did you know fireflies lived around dinosaurs? The ones back then didn’t look like the ones we have today, but the species was found in 100 million year old amber! They had light producing organs just like the ones we have today!! Much like the fireflies, our craft will light up too!! You can do this fun kit in person by registering! Find the links on our Facebook and Instagram page. Want to do this at home? Swing on by to pick up this kit through the lobby or curbside beginning at 12p.m. While supplies last.
