2023-06-01 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Detroit) | KML Outdoor Activities Center, 14252 US HWY 41, Copper Harbor, MI, 49918, United States
Interpretive Hikes – Thursday Mornings with the OAC Team
Join the OAC team for an interpretive hike Thursday mornings at 9:45am. These hikes are open to people of all ages. Hikers should expect variable terrain that requires a moderate fitness level. Routes vary, but participants can expect to do anywhere between 2-4 miles. Discussions include plant and animal identifications, local geology, weather, lodge history and possibly the use of nature apps.
These nature hikes are a good opportunity to practice mindful, quiet moments so guests can listen to the sounds of nature. While these are social/educational hikes, quiet hikers tend to encounter birds and other animals.

About the Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to educate people on how to capture the beauty of the northern lights and the night sky on camera. Topics being covered include equipment needed, camera settings, and the best locations for viewing. These workshops will start out with a brief powerpoint presentation (in the conference room), and then we will go outside for hands-on experience — taking pictures of the night time sky (hopefully northern lights) around the Lodge property (weather depending). With the information garnered from the workshop, it will make stargazing more enjoyable.
Please bring your camera, a tripod (if you have one), warm clothing, and a great attitude.

About the Instructor: Tom Oliver
Tom Oliver is an avid photographer of wildlife and landscapes, including dark skies and northern lights. Since he was a child, nature, wildlife, and the outdoors have always been his deepest fascination – the intrinsic force which drives him. Those interests led him through, both, his career (in wildlife ecology/management and science education) and his preferred forms of recreation (hiking, backpacking, canoeing and kayaking, photography, hunting and fishing, and birding). Although, he was born and raised in the UP, these pursuits also provided me the opportunity to live overseas (in Europe and Asia) for 15 years, which greatly expanded my experience with the outdoors and outdoor recreation in different cultures.
Tom maintains a passion for photography and the outdoors that he delights in sharing with students. His photography work can be viewed at teoliver.com and @theupwell on Instagram.
