SUMMARY:🌊 Lake Fest
DESCRIPTION:Lake Fest\nA S.T.E.A.M.-based Learning Festival\nDive into a day of exploration and hands-on discovery at Lake Fest at Ford House, a family-friendly celebration inspired by the science, nature, and creativity of Lake St. Clair.\nLake Fest is designed to spark curiosity and build confidence in young learners by turning big ideas into playful, engaging experiences. Through interactive S.T.E.A.M.-based activities, children are encouraged to ask questions, explore how the lake works, and discover the animals and ecosystems that make Lake St. Clair such an important natural resource.\nFor families, Lake Fest offers a meaningful way to support learning outside the classroom while spending time together in a beautiful outdoor setting. Activities are hands-on and age-appropriate, helping children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and environmental awareness in ways that feel fun rather than instructional.\nSet along the lakefront at Ford House, the festival blends science, art, and nature into a day that invites movement, exploration, and shared discovery. Whether your child loves wildlife, enjoys building and creating, or is simply curious about the world around them, Lake Fest provides an engaging experience that inspires learning through play.\nAt Lake Fest this year, we will be welcoming many local community partners. One of those partners is Bricks of Hope. Bricks of Hope’s mission is to create play and inspire imagination in sick children by delivering LEGO® to them during their hospital stays. They collect new, unopened LEGO® sets of any size and for any age group. All donated sets will be delivered to a local hospital here in Michigan.\nFord House is excited to partner with Bricks of Hope for this special cause. If you’d like to help, we’ll be accepting donations of new, unopened Lego sets for children currently residing in local hospitals at Lake Fest.\nOrganizations you can expect to see this year!\n\nDetroit Bird Alliance\nBricks of Hope\nBelle Isle Nature Center\nLake Saint Clair Walleye Association\nMacomb County Public Works\nMichigan Department of Natural Resources\nLake St. Clair SISMA & Six Rivers Land Conservancy\nMichigan Science Center\nDetroit Zoo\nMichigan Department of Health and Human Services\n\nBe alerted when this event goes on sale!\n
