Outdoor Explorers are full of creativity! The matches were invited to attend Nature Craft Night, a beloved tradition in Helena. Every year, kids and adults come to the Forest Service office to kick off the season with crafts to decorate their Christmas trees or homes. The Outdoor Explorers spent late November covered in glitter, ink, frosting and [hopefully not] hot glue. The crafts included pine cone gnomes and angels, twig picture frames, cinnamon animal ornaments, tree slice ornaments, Chanukah stars, snowflakes and much more.
Over a dozen volunteers lined the room, armed with glue guns and forest products, and crafted until their hands cramped, while kids took home an overflowing loot bag that mentors and parents likely had to un-glue later from the partially dried creations. ‘Tis the season for celebrating with OEMP!
