Hosted by Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Trail Hike

We're so excited to kick off our first hike of the season! Lauren and Genesis will lead a short hike around Salt Marsh Marine Park. We'll meet at the Nature Center at 12:15pm ET, do intros and begin a walk around the park. We'll hike through wetlands, bird watch, enjoy the natural sites and stop at a few lookouts! Feel free to bring lunch and we'll find a spot to sit and eat before making our way back to the train together. Feel free to account about 2-3 hours for the entire experience including stops and lunch. You can get to the Nature Center by taking the Q train toward Coney Island-Stillwell Av and getting out at the Avenue U stop. From there, it's a 20 minute walk to the Nature Center. Feel free to text Genesis or Lauren if you have any questions or are running late. Lauren: 515-577-6246 Genesis: 631-636-3373

Hosted by BETA Play Reading

Welcome to a chalk-dusted climbing gym in the *it's fine* Midwest, where effort is everything, and the crowd is part of the climb.  For the first time in its history, Bouldering Project is partnering with a playwright and theatrical team to bring you *BETA* — a site specific staged reading. An exploration of failure and struggle, *BETA* reminds us how good it feels to root for someone. Bring your voice, your encouragement, your psyche, and be part of the community — because in a climbing gym, nobody sends alone. Doors at 7:30pm Performance at 8pm Written by Lawrence Dial Directed by Molly Shayna Cohen Featuring Olivia Baressi, Amanda Sykes, Ruby Wolf, and more to be announced!  This play reading is FREE entry, but you can donate some funds towards the actors [here](https://buymeacoffee.com/betaclimbingplay). All funds will go directly to the actors involved to bringing the piece to life - and onto the wall.  [https://betaclimbingplay.com/](https://betaclimbingplay.com/)
