Join us for our 3rd Annual DMCC Summer Celebration! This free, family friendly event will feature activities & food throughout the day the entire family can enjoy. Come check out Starr's Cave Nature Center and try out the Stream Table. Hike the Starr's Cave portion of the Flint River Trail. Wade in Flint Creek during a Critter Catch. Enjoy one of our yard games. We will have shuttles giving rides to Big Hollow to show off some of the recent improvements and from the west end of the Starr's cave portion of the Flint River Trail back to the Nature Center.

Come catch critters in Flint Creek! Bring your own net if you have one, otherwise we have some to lend. We’ll help you identify the critters you catch.

DMCC Environmental Education staff will be on Big Hollow Lake once a month from June thru October. Get out on the water for some paddling fun as we explore the lake. We will see birds, fish, and fall colors. There is a $5 fee per boat. A limited number of boats are available so space is limited. Registration for each event is required in advance. These events open to all ages, however children need to be accompanied by an adult. To register call Starr’s Cave Nature Center at 319-753-5808 two weeks prior to the event.
