What's New at Eyes of the World

Posted September 23, 2026

We're giving our website a fresh new look! You might notice some pages look brand new while others still look the way they used to. That's just the update rolling out one page at a time, and everything still works.

We're also upgrading how registration works, so waiver forms are easier and quicker to complete for each child.

See you in the woods!
