SUMMARY:Wellness Carnival with Shout Out Loud
DESCRIPTION:St. Peter Lutheran Church is partnering with Shout Out Loud to host its annual event and are looking for activity partners. \nThe Wellness Carnival is a free event where nothing is sold\, and each booth teachings a coping skills and/or connects people to local resources like a therapist or mental health organization. If you have a skill that you would like to volunteer to share—perhaps teaching people how to play a few chords on the guitar\, or a craft that you use to relax like painting—we would love for you to help us run a booth. Email sseery@stpeterafton.org to get involved. \nShout Out Loud is an organization that works to prevent suicide by connecting people with resources\, and by teaching children and adults coping skills to deal with stress and other issues. The idea is that if we can connect people to resources and skills we can save lives by intervening before it becomes a crisis.

SUMMARY:Layers of St. Croix History: Reading the Rocks

While each trip will highlight a specific historic theme\, we will also look for birds\, fish\, mussels\, flowers and other wildlife that are part of the river’s past\, present and future. \nPaddle 3: Reading the Rocks \nDate: 3–8 p.m. August 8\nLocation: WI Interstate to Log House Landing \nThe St. Croix Valley has long attracted geologists who have studied the stories told by its layers of bedrock and varied surfaces. From primordial volcanoes to Cambrian seas to the coming and going of glaciers\, the land has been shaped and reshaped over unimaginable spans of time. Learn about a billion years of Earth history\, how it is still shown in the landscape today\, and about some of the scientists who have investigated the river’s geology over the past two centuries. (Take home a geologic map.) \n
