Workshops are free with your registration. Seminars have a fee involved and require registration. Both are being held in the Studio located in the far end of the park, unless noted otherwise. A few are being held in a tent in the event area. Check for changes or additions and sign up for all workshops at the registration tent. Participants will be shuttled to and from all workshops/seminars held in the Studio. There is no parking at the studio. A restroom facility is located in the building.

Meet at the shuttle stop in the parking lot of the River Day Use Area near the Aviary 15 minutes PRIOR to the seminar or workshop.

Take the mystery out of selecting and buying binoculars and spotting scopes. What does a Diopter do? What does 8x32 or 10x42 mean exactly? Learn why field of view, eye relief and brightness are important factors in choosing the right optic for you. Do you really need a spotting scope? Is a $500 pair of binoculars really better than a $200 pair? George Felker, a certified Field Tech, from the Swarovski Optik company will answer all of these questions plus others in this informative and down to basics class.
