AOK Nature Adventurepacks

DONATE NOW

Our Adventurepacks are appearing 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 Nature 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
