| Date | Workshop Title | Description | Location |
| Apr 18 | This and That | We will be doing several things that will keep you journaling every day of the year, including making a calendar and a phenology wheel. We'll also play with fonts and engage in other activities. | Terrapin Station Shelter |
| Jun 20 | Color Play | Bring your favorite instruments for getting color on your page, and let's color! We will also be playing with watercolors. Some watercolor paints and pencils will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own if you have them. | Bluff Top Pavilion |
| Sep 19 | Sketching Fast and Loose | It isn't always possible to take your time drawing an animal – or even a plant for that matter. Sometimes you just have to get something on the page as quickly as you can. So, limber up your fingers and get ready to do some exercises that will help prepare you for fast and loose sketching. | Terrapin Station Shelter |
| Oct 17 | Take a Hike | Let's take a hike and look at the different layers of the trail. Look up, down and all around. There is something new and different at each layer. How do they all fit together? | Terrapin Station Shelter |
Workshop times: 10 a.m. - noon
