MORE TOURS WILL BE ANNOUNCED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER
Please be patient as our all-volunteer organization works to plan lots of fun events for you!
All of our events are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. We suggest a tax-deductible donation of $10-20 per attendee for those who are able. Your donations help us cover the costs of hiring speakers, pay for our website, cover our annual tax & paperwork filings, buy supplies, and otherwise compensate for the myriad of expenses that small nonprofits accrue. Our staff is entirely volunteer. You can learn more about our mission here!
