You may or may not know that Raven Hill Discovery Center has made the difficult decision to “hibernate” for 12 months due to the COVID-19 crisis. Hopefully, the Center can safely open a year from now with a plan for whatever the future brings. Opening for this 2020 spring and summer season would be difficult in this time of social distancing. Fall and winter are slow times, so opening in the spring of 2021 in time for spring field trips, discovery camps and summer visitors, seems to be the best option for the Center at this point in time, if that is feasible. Work will go on behind the scenes and your continued support is appreciated. Check us out daily on Facebook and the website (
www.MiRavenHill.org
) for informal learning activities, photo memories, history pages, updates and more. We may also be reached via email (
info@miravenhill.org
) or phone: 231.675.6025.
