    Located in the heart of Harbor Springs, Kiwanis park hosts a variety of fun activities. Especially in the winter! Beautiful trails for snowshoeing, woods for exploring, a fun hill for sledding, and the coziest warming hut for hot cocoa and crafting.  

    • Exploring the surrounding woods 

    • Snowshoeing & sledding on Kiwanis' exciting hill! 

    • Hot cocoa & Nature-inspired crafts

  • Each day brings a fresh set of offerings—nature exploration, hands-on activities, creating projects, and more! These are planned to inspire curiosity, growth, and joyful discovery.

    But we also know that the most meaningful moments often can’t be scheduled.

    That is why we stay flexible. If children are deeply engaged—whether it be building a shelter, exploring the creek, or making a work of art—we won’t interrupt the magic. We’ll stay with them, support their momentum, and let the experience unfold! 

    Because when children are immersed, this is when the real learning and meaningful connections happen.  

    Our priority is to let kids be kids—to explore, play, and build relationships that matter.

    Give your young person an unforgettable way to unwind after the school day!
