Bilingual GLOW Hike / Bilingüe Caminata de GLOW

3025 New Holland Road, Reading, PA 19607

This program will be presented in both English and Spanish. Este programa se presentará en inglés y español.

As humans we can only see some of the wavelengths of light. But there is a whole hidden world of colors and shapes that can be seen after dark with the help of a Ultraviolet Flashlight.  Explore the hidden spectrum Nolde Forest after dark on this guided hike with a park educator. How does it feel to surrender your human senses and walk a normally well known trail with the eyes of a woodland creature?

Bring a regular flashlight for backup, but on this hike for ages 10 though adult we will walk the boulevard trail WITHOUT visible light to really immerse ourselves in the forest ecosystem after dark. Blacklight flashlights will be provided (one per family/group), but please bring your own if you have one to help us stretch our supplies – small handheld blacklight flashlights can be purchased at most hardware stores.    

The program will start 15 minutes before sunset inside McConnell Hall for a presentation on UV radiation and human vision. 

No pets please. 

**Due to the increasing popularity of our programming and the growing number of people on the waitlist for programs, we require a 24-hour cancellation notice for all programs. This will allow us time to reach out to other participants/families on the wait list and allow them to fill your spot. Individuals who repeatedly do not cancel before the program and who repeatedly do not show up to the program will be prohibited from signing up for future programs.**
