11. Visit a nature center
Visiting a nature center is always a fun and educational event. Most nature centers have a naturalist on staff and public programs to learn more about nature. This is a great opportunity to bring questions you may have generated from your other outdoor activities. There are two nature centers in Elkhart County and several within 50 miles.
