ThINC Nature House - Today's Events - Friday, August 18th
Friday, August 18, 2023 at 8:27AM 10:00 am start
Young Naturalists: Geology Rocks! Bouldering Workshop (all ages)
Location: Pilkey Point
You’ve heard of boulders, but what about BoulderING? Bouldering is a type of rock climbing done on small boulders or rock formations. We’ll be joined by expert bouldering instructors from Balancing Acts who are ending their world tour - from Montreal - Paris - London - LA - and New York - on Thetis! They will provide shoes, crash pads, and instruction to teach kids and adults how to get started. Plus, we’ll learn about the geology of the island, and how our unique shoreline has been formed by the sea!
2:00 pm start
Expert Excursion: Kayak the Cufra! (all ages)
Location: Launch location - North Cove (please park at the end of the main road rather than the beach area)
Drift into the Cufra with us this Friday! This unique feature of the island’s coastline is best explored by boat. Bring your kayaks (and life jackets!) down to North Cove Beach and we will launch together and let the tide take us into the Cufra as it rises! Note: this is a BYO-B (boat!) event!
As both of today's activities will be on the coast, don't forget to bring sun protection and water!
