Join us for a night of glowing discovery! Under the beam of UV lights, we’ll uncover the hidden world of nocturnal insects—moths, beetles, and more—as they come alive in vibrant color. We’ll also venture out on short excursions to search for other elusive creatures of the night, like owls, amphibians, and snakes. This hands-on evening is perfect for curious minds and adventurous spirits, combining science, exploration, and wonder in God’s nighttime creation.

Cedarwood Outdoor School will loan field guides, flashlights, magnifying glasses, and other equipment to sharpen wildlife observations.

All ages are welcome. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Students are not required to stay for the entire duration, but must arrive on time so that we can set up as a group.

“You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about”

-Psalm 104:20

Disclaimer:

This event is weather-dependent and may be postponed, relocated, or canceled due to rain, strong winds, wildfire smoke, or other conditions that would significantly reduce wildlife activity or participant safety.

While we will use proven techniques to maximize wildlife activity and provide the best possible opportunity to observe a diversity of insects and other nocturnal creatures, wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed. Nature operates on its own schedule, and every evening offers a unique experience.
