DINGMANS FERRY, PA — The Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC), at 538 Emery Rd., is planning a variety of events in the first half of July.

On Sunday, July 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. there will be a summer canoe paddle. You can paddle a canoe and try out PEEC’s new kayaks. Beginners are welcome; they will teach you everything you need to know. Dress appropriately—you may get wet. Call to reserve a canoe. The cost is $5.

On Saturday, July 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. there will be a Frog Frolic. A fun afternoon in the ponds and streams on the property is planned. Learn about some of our frog friends as we gently catch and release these hopping amphibians. Wear boots and plan on getting a little wet and muddy. The cost is $5. Also on July 11, there will be a moonlit drumming session from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Master drummer Maxwell Kofi Donkor will lead an introductory lesson and a drumming circle under the moonlit sky. No experience is necessary. Call to reserve a drum. The cost is $30 for adults, $15 for children.

On Sunday, July 12, there will be a free guided hike on a PEEC trail from 1 to 3 p.m. There will also be a Little Eco Explorers session for children three to six years old. Each session focuses on a particular critter; this week beavers will be in the spotlight. The cost is $5 per child. Visit peec.org or call 570/828-2319.
