Bellarmine’s 80 acres of woods, prairie, gardens, and open fields invites walking. Be sure to wear walking shoes, warm layers, sunblock, and/or bug spray depending on the weather that day.

Fun activities for the whole family!
We'll have a number of fun activities including making s'mores and Tom Sparough, who will be blending juggling and storytelling for all ages. We'll have at least a number of telescopes available for stargazing, and many more fun activities for children and adults.
