Small Mammal Survey

Saint Paul is home to so much more than rabbits and squirrels! Participate in a small mammal survey and learn about the lives of urban wildlife.

We will capture and identify mammals with the help of U of M small mammal researcher Dakota Rowsey. This is a great opportunity to spend some time outside in a beautiful park, learn about our mammal neighbors, and contribute to scientific study.

Mobile Camp at Hidden Falls

Saint Paul Parks and Recreation has partnered with the YMCA to bring Day Camp into the City!

Located on the mighty Mississippi River, Hidden Falls Regional Park is the perfect place to learn about the city’s water source and explore the great outdoors. With the National Park Service as partners, campers will get to meet a Park Ranger and learn how to care for this precious natural resource. And no, YMCA Day Camp would not be complete without traditional camp activities such as Canoeing, Archery, Shelter Building and Fishing.

July 9-13 and August 6-10 | Ages 5-11 | More information
