AOK Nature Adventurepacks
Our Adventurepacks will be All Over Kansas. We want everyone to get a chance to “check out” birds, butterflies, trees, clouds - anything and everything that is easier to see with binoculars!
Each Adventurepack includes:
- Three pair of binoculars: two pair for kids and one for adults.
- A fold-out identification guide for the moon and Kansas birds and butterflies
- An information sheet customized for each county with locations to go nature adventurepacking!
- Links to YouTube videos with tips on identifying birds and butterflies
- An invitation to join a Facebook group dedicated to all new Adventurepack users
Where will Adventurepacks be available?
They will be in local libraries All Over Kansas!
When will Adventurepacks be available near me?
We are working as fast as we can!
