Headlamp Spider Class

Day of the Week: Friday

Event Date: July 17, 2026

Time: 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM

$60

Location: Dreher Island State Park

Please join us on Friday, July 17th for an arachnid-filled adventure at Dreher Island State Park with Dr. Robert Wolff.

This unique walk will begin at 7:30 pm and will focus on finding spiders by looking for their eyeshine as we explore the park with headlamps at night. The class will conclude at approximately 10:00 pm. Dr. Wolff has spent most of his life studying spiders, and will identify and discuss the different spider species we’ll find in the park. The shores of Lake Murray are known for their abundance of spiders, so it should be an action-packed night!

 

Class Date: July 17. Rain date July 25
