Family Movie Night

Located in Meredith, New Hampshire, the EKAL Activity Center offers a fresh take on family-friendly outdoor adventure with its hands-on Family Movie Night workshop, where creativity blooms alongside community spirit. This isn’t your typical wilderness trek or paddle trip; instead, it invites participants of all ages into a tactile experience of nature-inspired artistry. Set against the backdrop of the Lakes Region—a landscape renowned for its rugged granite outcrops and vibrant botanical diversity—this workshop taps into the region’s rich natural palette.

Attendees gather to craft pressed flower candle holders, using real flora collected from the surrounding environment or sourced locally, encapsulating seasonal blooms within clear resin. Each participant receives all necessary materials, including an LED candle, blending safety with charm, which ensures your handcrafted piece glows softly within any home. What sets EKAL Activity Center apart is how it seamlessly integrates craft with place-based learning.

Meredith’s proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains situates it in a unique outdoor hub, yet EKAL creates a welcoming space that draws visitors indoors for mindful, creative engagement with nature. This approach adds a distinct dimension to the Lakes Region’s adventure offerings, making it a standout destination for families looking to balance outdoor exploration with relaxing, enriching experiences. The workshop spans about an hour, making it an accessible option amidst more physically demanding activities nearby.

With skilled instructors guiding the process, participants produce keepsakes that reflect the changing seasons and local flora, reinforcing a connection to the environment beyond the hike or paddle. Whether you’re winding down after a day on the trails or simply seeking a new type of family adventure, EKAL’s pressed flower candle holder workshop provides a memorable way to touch the natural world and take a piece of it home. It’s a creative gathering point in Meredith that fosters community, artistry, and a fresh perspective on nature-based recreation.
