Fall Open House Sun. Oct. 4

Posted on by Colleen Levine

Please join us at the Outdoor Lab Fall Open House on Sunday, October 4, 2026 — 10am to 2pm.

Arlington families are invited to meet AOEA board members, learn about APS learning activities at the Lab, and try their hand at canoeing, catch-and-release fishing, hiking our trails and of course, making s’mores around the campfire (weather-permitting).

Please RSVP by Fri. Oct. 2 to reserve your spot and ensure we have an accurate headcount.

AOEA is an entirely volunteer-run organization that owns and maintains the Outdoor Lab — please sign up for a volunteer shift if you’re willing to lend a hand at the Open House! (Teens, get those volunteer hours!) Or join our volunteer mailing list for future opportunities. Thank you!
