Whooo's Up When You're Asleep?
Sunday September 2, 7 p.m.
Come down to the amphitheatre and find out who's up when you're not. We will have arts and crafts starting at 7 p.m., a PowerPoint presentation at 7:30 p.m., followed by a short hike in the Great Outdoors around the campground in search of some night-time creatures. Please wear sturdy shoes appropriate for hiking. A headlamp or flashlight is required.

Interpretive programs and events at New Melones Lake tie into President Barack Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative (http://americasgreatoutdoors.gov/) which seeks to empower Americans to share in the responsibility to conserve restore and provide better access to our lands and waters and leave a healthy and vibrant outdoor legacy for generations to come.
