You have probably heard of hibernation, but have you heard of estivation? Estivation is when an animal sleeps the summer away. First, join Hancock Park District to learn about what estivation is and why animals do it. A book will be read regarding the subject. Then go outside to continue our discussion about estivation and look for estivating animals in the park. After our short hike, we will create a craft of our favorite estivating animal.

Meet at the Discovery Center.  This free program is open to tweens ages 10-12, registration is not required.
