These Explorer Backpacks are available to check out on a first-come, first-served basis. They’re available Mondays through Saturdays from 9 am – 4 pm each day, and Sundays from 12 – 4 pm.

Each backpack comes with tools to investigate a specific topic while on the trails – Trees, Birds, Frogs, Insects, and Pond Exploration.
