Tuesdays at Tanglewood: A Day at the Beach

On Tuesday, June 18, Tanglewood will begin its third annual summer series: Tuesdays at Tanglewood. The first program will be A Day at the Beach.

Kick off your summer vacation by learning more about the NC coast. Go on a treasure hunt and ID the shells encountered along the way. Get instructions for fun crafts using your own shell collection. Learn about birds, sea turtles, and other forms of life only found at the beach. To participate in the A Day at the Beach program, meet at Shelter 2 at 10:00 am.

The Tuesdays at Tanglewood programs are part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools The Amazing Summer ESCAPE Challenge. Click the link for more information and to register your student today!

Bring your swimsuit and go for a dip at the Tanglewood Aquatic Center after the program (regular Aquatic Center admission applies).

The summer programs feature a variety of nature activities and will be free to the public, with the exception of the $2 per car Tanglewood Park entrance fee for all programs at Shelter 2 and Walnut Hall. Registered RV campers and annual pass holders do not pay the entrance fee.

These programs will be take place on most Tuesdays beginning June 18 through August 20 at 10:00 am. All programs last approximately an hour.

Participants should bring their own sunscreen, insect repellent, and water bottle, and wear comfortable hiking clothes and shoes. The programs are designed for all ages, but children ages 16 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
