Live Peace with Get Outdoors! OC

Did you know that we are part of the Get Outdoors! OC Nature Scene Investigator guidebook? It is a great way to explore nature around you and find wonderful places right here in Orange County!

Made in partnership with Inside the Outdoors, OC Parks, and Sage Hill School, the guidebook contains 15 different “operations,” each directing you to a different local park or landmark. At each location, Nature Scene Investigators find the special plate to make a rubbing in your booklet and collect a code. Collect all of the special codes to be eligible for prizes!

A hint to the location of our key!

We are one of many great stops in the guidebook, so make sure to pick one up and explore all of the locations!

Good Happens.

Pay it Forward!
