Join Billie Jo Reid, Outdoor and Nature Journal Educator for this hands-on workshop. No artistic ability is required, just a love of nature and a sense of wonder and curiosity! Meet in the community living room at the Mill Library and we will go to the park together as a group.

Ages 13 to 17 years. Please register in advance.

Please note, this workshop involves a visit to Mill Square park (located just one block away at the corner of Mill St. and Little York St.). 

If there is inclement weather, this program will move to the Mill Library.

Join us with our friends from EarlyON Dufferin for songs, stories and a craft in the park. This week's special guest is Cassandra Brennan who will help us make art in the park. Cassandra (they/them) is a Drama Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist working in Orangeville. They offer support to all ages with Art as Therapy and through the Art Hive Foundation. They are eager to share in some summer fun with you all this summer!

Adventures in the Park is outdoors in parks around the community. The summer program will be at Kay Cee Gardens, 29 Bythia St., and will feature special storytime guests.

Crafty Creations is on Saturdays at Mill and Mondays at Alder. We provide an assortment of craft materials; you provide the creativity!
