Commissioner Jean-Pierre L. Oriol of the Department of Planning and Natural Resources is pleased to announce that the Division of Coastal Zone Management, in partnership with Friends of the St. Croix East End Marine Park, will host a Halloween Lantern Craft Day on Saturday, October 4th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Estate Great Pond Park (the former site of Camp Arawak).
The St. Croix East End Marine Park Visitor Center will also be open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., as it is every first Saturday of the month.
Join the East End Marine Park team for a fun and creative day of transforming upcycled water and milk jugs into festive Halloween lanterns for the upcoming Trunk or Treat celebration. We’ll be using acrylic paints, so please dress appropriately for a hands-on painting activity.
Jug donations are welcome and can be dropped off Monday through Friday at the St. Croix East End Marine Park Office.
This free educational event is open to all ages, but RSVP is required as space is limited. To reserve your spot, contact the Outreach Coordinator at (340) 718-3367 or email stxeempoutreach@dpnr.vi.gov.
