Spend the afternoon making beeswax candles to light your new year! In 2026, we are celebrating America's 250th Anniversary! We will discuss beekeeping and candle making techniques from the early days of the American colonies and today. We will try both candle dipping and candle pouring techniques using pure beeswax. Participants will leave with 6 dipped birthday candles and a small poured container candle. This program will be held indoors, and there will be hot tea and cookies!  Questions? Contact btobin@pa.gov

**If this program needs to be cancelled due to weather, you will receive an email by 10am on the morning of the event. Please check your email before heading over!

Women in the Wild is a monthly series of outdoor programs held at state parks throughout the Southeast. Each month of 2026 there will be an opportunity to get outdoors, learn a new skill, and have fun in a relaxed, friendly, and affirming environment. Choose from activities like archery, paddleboarding, rock climbing, and birdwatching. Check out the event at your closest state park or follow Women in the Wild to a new park each month. We’re excited to spend the year with you trying new things!
