Native San Elijo Lagoon (Family Discovery Days)

Revisit a time when Native Americans relied upon wetlands for many needs. Learn how local plants were used for medicines, food, tools, and clothing. Kids can try acorn grinding, play Kumeyaay games, make authentic crafts, and unearth “finds” at a mock dig site. Enjoy traditional Native American storytelling at 2 pm each day.

Family Discovery Days (free) takes place quarterly at San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center, located at 2710 Manchester Avenue in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Family Discovery Days is made possible through the partnership of San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, San Diego County Parks and Recreation, and San Diego County Parks Society. The City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation Community Grant provide additional funding.
